Two Plus Two Older Archives - Am I just VERY unlucky?

"Dubious" means "unreliable" or "untrustworthy."

Is that what you meant to say?

I suspect - if you're relying on handwritten notes - you're writing down every single bad beat, but forgetting to record all the times when you won.

If you really did manage to lose three times to straight flushes when you had the A-flush, that does sound like bad luck, though.

I started tracking my 4 flush fill % online back in February, after what seemed like a very bad run. I have taken very dubious notes, and since have filled just 47 of 401 4 flush flops, less than 12% v. the 35% odds of filling. Of the 47 I've filled, 3 were beat by 2 pair filling a boat on the river on a 4 outter after i filled on 4th st. 3 times my Ace high flush was beaten by a straight flush. 2 times someone had flopped a boat, and once someone had flopped quads, and 3 times I was beaten by a bigger flush. The most recent I had KK(h), had raised from the button, 1 limper called. 3 hearts flopped, and the turn was a heart. The one caller I had to my raise had A(hearts)J(c)!
My other frustration with online poker is that since I have obtained Poker Tracker @ 4000 hands ago, I have had AK 43 times, 13 of which the flop came with an A or a K, which is about right. The issue I have is that of those 13, only 7 won the hand. 53% wins when I flopped top pair with top kicker. I joke that they call it a "random number generator", I say its a "random RAKE generator" designed to keep as many people in hands as possible.
