Default Is it possible to move up and WIN?

I normally play NL100. Tought I give NL2-4 a try at Doyles (75bb stacks).

Why does this ALWAYS happen when I move up? First "big" pot:

"Table Mission Impossible * Holdem No Limit $2/$4"

Villain is btn and has $221, Hero covers.

3 limpers, I raise 18 with AA in SB. All limpers call.

Flop: 255 rainbow. I bet 50ish, 2 fold button calls.
Turn: K completes the rainbow. I bet 200, button calls.
River: K. Hero mucks AA to villans K2.

I was sweating the turn since I knew he was very loose and might have had a 5. When he turned over K2 I felt a whole lot better.
Is it standard to say please no king or duece while waiting for the river? I felt like that affected the outcome.


* = I gotta pay more attention to table names in the future.

yes, that did affect the outcome. even if you think it, like one of those sins christ condemned our minds for, you're doomed, and that card falls.

happens to me constantly. or did, then i learned not to think, and now i'm a much happier man. and no more bad beats!!
