So you more experienced players - why does it feel like I keep losing hands where I'm favourite?

Nobody remembers losing hands where they were a huge dog, or winning those for that matter. We only remember the bad beats.

That's not entirely true. I do well remember cracking AA with 72o, but that was against a friend so it doesn't really count.

You're going to lose 20% of the time when you go in as a 4:1 favorite. (no, really!) We poker players think that we should never lose when we are 4:1, never! Anytime we do lose as a big favorite we consider it a gross injustice and think that the universe owes us some compensation.
