It means she does what she does online, but live. She gets all-in with A10 vs. AJ with 13 left and flops a ten. Then she's all-in with QJ vs. JJ three handed and rivers a queen.

Yeah, it sucks being a losing player, doesn't it?

It just must be amazing to run like that. We all have our own runs in poker, but some people are spooky.

In each of the cases you list she's a 30% dog.

Anybody claiming it to be "spooky" or out of the ordinary for a player to come up winner twice - or more - in that situation lacks a basic understanding of variance.

Nobody - and I mean nobody - can win a big tournament without getting very lucky. Maybe Annette got very lucky during the tournament, but your examples are not in anyway out of ordinary variance.

It's really hard to see any other reason for your post than envy.
