SInce my recent bad beat streak i rarely play any Poker at all.

Today i just played 3 2,50 $ Sng ...
but i still have incredible bad luck.

1st SNG i got pocket TT in Late position.
i raise 4BB everyone except the BB folds.
BB calls.

Flop
479 rainbow.
BB raises Potsize
I push all in . ( I expect him to have A9s A7s AJ, AT A4 88 here most of the time .. while i am aware there is also a small chance i am beat here with 77 , 99 or 44)

he calls and shows QQ ....#
gg

2nd SNG.
I call with J9s and hit a Flush
i raise -> get reraised and finally push all in.

I have a Flush Jack high on the flop ... i cant fold this ...

Villian Shows Q4s and wins with a flush Q high.

How likley is it 2 people flopping a Flush ? ( i bet not very likley but happens alot more than it should T_T)

GG

3d SNG.

I was actually running pretty damn good at first.
Got Ace high flush on the river vs a 6 high flush and a slow playing QQ who played check check allin on river. (only undercards)
So i went from 1000 tp 3000 chips very early.
after that i didnt get good hands and played very passivly.
when 5 people where left i was 2nd most in chips with about
2900.
then i got incredible preflop cards 3 times in a row
I got AA and raised... everybody folded next hand
I got QQ and raised ...everybody folded next hand
I got KK and raised .. the chipleader pushed all in over my raise

Yeha i raised 3 times in a row and he was probably really thinking about me stealing blinds wth A3 and such sttuff.

I was so glad when he pushed and i called.
HE showed AJo while i showed KK ( this is like 72-28..)

of course i lost due to him hitting an Ace....
Finished Tournament in 5th place.
GG

Okay so nothing special for me

Then i made a little experiment.
I took a dice and threw it.
1 and 2 giving the underdog a win and 3 4 5 6 giving the King the win.

This is a 70-30 situation like it often appears in Poker.

here are the results.
First try 2-10 in favour for the kIng
2nd try 2-10 in favour for the kIng
3rd try 3 - 9 King
4th try 2-10 King

Overall 9 - 39 for kIng -> 80-20 for the favourite.

now I am somehow schocked how i can loose so many 70-30 situations in Poker T_T

I just dont understand it.

nevertheless this Post totally sucks and i am frustrated and all

SO dont care

Too small sample to prove anything, oh and what you're experiencing is called variance, get used to it or just quit playing poker.

Odds are exactly 50%, either happens or it doesnt
