past days full of bad luck - just me?
 
The past 3 days i have been playing several SNG and have seen an impressive amount of "against all odds" events.

I am not a long time player but i have never ever seen something even close to that.
I mean if i go AI with QQ when the flop is T8Q get 2 callers who show me JJ and J8 and the next cards are 9 and 7 this is poker and sometimes this happens.....but should events like this happen all the time (more than 2 dozen AI counted in such a short amount of time - over the course of 16 SNG's?

I mean my last 2 SNG went like this (exactly)

1) Second hand dealt i get AQs i raise and get 2 callers.
Flop comes A54 rainbow. I raise one fold and other re-raised so i go AI and get called by A6o. River card: 6

2) The very first hand i get 22 on the button. UTG raises to 60 and 1 caller and me calls as well. Flop comes 235
After some raising we all 3 end AI with UTG showing AA and other proudly present 46o

Bad beats are part of poker...but how many bad beates with less than 20% chance or weaker can happen in a row...or lets say in the course of 3 days?

And while i write this ...it happened again !
KJ vs villains K8o with floped Kxx rivered....an 8

Ok all you experienced fellow players out there - is this something i should get used to (if this is just "normal" variance i wonder how ppl can play 10 years and more and still be sane?) or should i go consult some kind of astrologic specialist and avoid playing when the stars clearly hate me?

Thank you for answer

Variance. < I was afraid to hear that - does one get used to that kind of variance over time? >

No-one cares. <Wrong - i do care>

Yeh I'm used to the variance by now. I swear a lot and punch stuff but I don't let it affect my game.

You will get sucked out on (and you will suck out). When you get sucked out on, just shake your head, or go WTF? And move on. When you suck out, smile and shrug.

Online poker is rigged.

No, if they suck out on you, berate them until you get your chat banned.
