Default How often does this happen to you??

I really can't believe I'm making this post. It's honestly very unlike me to post something like this....but it happens so often and it just happened again, I just can't believe it....

How often do you get dealt a wired pair, you miss the flop...then the VERY next hand the flop that gets dealt has a card that would "in theory" give you a set if you only had the same cards as the previous hand??

I've been paying attention to this because it honestly happens to me ALL THE FREAKING TIME. I mean....it doesn't happen 15 or 20% of the time...it literally seems to happen to me 80 to 90% of the time I get dealt a pocket pair. I don't believe in the "online poker is rigged" crap, but this happens to me too often for me to ignore it.

I'm posting the most recent example of this out of my HH's. Flame on....I deserve it for this absolutely horrid post....but I just can't believe how often this happens to me and I had to post it.
