Default Is this at all [censored] normal?

I don't want to come up with "rigged" theories or anything, but of the last 150 tourney hands that I've played, I've got it in AI with 5 dominating hands and lost 5 in a row. I'm weirded out. What's the deal?

Yes, it's normal. The number of hands you have played doesn't even come close to the long run. Try 50K or 100K - then it may reflect the expectations of this hand vs. that hand.

I've lost five in a row too and also been the beneficiary of when I'm the dog in the hand and win it on the turn or river.

It happens. That's why poker is fun.

I only read that people lose with dominated hands, overpairs, sets etc.

Why don't the winners come here too and post something like: "Poker is rigged, I can play whatever I want, I am going to win anyways! Hahahahah!!!"

Barry,

You may be overplaying certain hands with the misconception that they are stronger than they actually are. I discuss this concept in depth in this thread. I recommend you read it.
