This has happened to me three times last week two of those were in a row. Later levels 5 and 6 with 5 or six oponents left and I completed in the SB with no other callers and have the BB raise or go all-in the next round I pick up PP twice 99 once TT i complete get raised and reraise or go all-in. All three times I'm called and shown A-undercard.All three times an ace comes. I was a 70% fav each time and fully expected to be. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea.

Sounds like you should raised all in to begin with, although I cant say for sure without specific stack sizes and blinds. Any time you are making a play as a 70% favorite to double up, you are probably making the right play, so no real reason to stop doing it.

I agree.

"Bad luck" does not mean "bad play".

Two dog, let me ask you a question...

If you paid me $1 to flip a coin, and every time that coin flipped heads, I paid you $3, would you play?

If after 10 flips, you only flipped heads 3 times, thus lost money, would you abandon this strategy for all time? Waving it off as a definite money loser...

If so, give up poker now!
