Am I just incredibly unlucky?
 

I've lost a big part of my BR on my last 4 big hands. Each one I though I was a clear favourite before I shoved. This is my latest one. Anyone think I should have thought this over a little better?

he didn't reraise preflop.. you can't put KK in his range.. so not much you can do.. move on.

You are slightly unlukcky, yes. Bet more on the flop, otherwise fine. Oh, and don't play full ring. FR is rigged.

if you lose 4 buy-ins and thats a "big part" then your are underrolled.

losing with set over set happens, its not your fault, move on.

after his 3 bet u have to be thinking he has a huge hand here though imo. its very hard to put him on KK but u have to be looking at str8 flush draw or at least bottom set. i dont see him 3 betting here with an overpair or 2 pair. set against set is always an unfortunate situation for 1 player but i dont see u ever folding middle set here against 1 opponent who didnt raise pre UL.

Maybe think about moving down a step, concerning your bankroll

WTF? No. This is NL10. I can't even put into words how ridiculous that statement is.

I don't think a flopped set should ever be folded on the flop for 100BBs.

OP got coolered. That's the beginning and end of it. Anything other than getting it in here is ridiculous.
