It seems like no matter what I do I cannot catch a break. I've been runner runner'ed twice today when flopping a straight, then this happens. I'm down 6buy in's this week and it is getting really annoying because I'm pretty sure I'm making decent plays they are just not paying off. I know calling all in against an unknown with two pair is kinda risky but it seemed like a good play considering I'm only behind either a set or higher two pair.

Re: and the downswing continues
 

You made the right play 2-1 favorite.

Re: and the downswing continues
 

More like 3-2. There were enough runner runner combos there.

But if you're complaining about a flush draw with overcards hitting. Yikes. I wouldn't want to be near you when you get three outered.

Re: and the downswing continues
 

It doesn't bother me so much that the flush hit its the fact that I've been getting screwed almost every time this week I push it in the middle as a favourite.
