    Been running horrible on full tilt all year and haven't been able to maintain a bankroll so I decided to use up my ftps trying to get a $26 token and then with my last 400 ftps get into the sunday brawl and this is what happened. How does something like this even happen? It hasn't been this bad the entire year but darn close. Variance????

    I would think of it this way to help you manage the way you are thinking:

    You only lost three coinflips in all actuality, although I understand your percentages from the flop on are amazingly in your favor.

    Maybe this will help?

    this!

    You lost 3 coinflips in a row (remember, you were all-in preflop, not on the flop, so runner runners don't matter here). The probability of this happening is about (50%)^3 = (1/2)^3 = 1/8 = 12.5%. Complaining about losing 3 coinflips is almost equivalent to complaining about AA < 22 once. Obv this happens to everybody.

    It sucks that you lost 3 coinflips in a row but honestly, that's poker...

    obviously they were coin flips pre-flop but post flop I was a huge favorite in all three and lost to runner runner. I have lost 3 or more coin flips in a row many times but I usually dont flop a set and become a 20+ to 1 favorite then lose to runner runner. especially in two tournaments simultaneously
