Default Re: Why does it seem like I never hit the flop?

Because you don't. I don't have the exact probabilities(hey...it's the psych forum), but think of it rationally: only six cards in the whole deck will pair one of your cards. If 20 or 21(burn before deal) go out to a 10-handed table, you have 31 or 32 possible cards to come out on the flop. At best, only six of them pair you up. Obviously, there are other draws to be had, and more ways to get them...but what it balances into is that there will be days, nights, weeks, and months where the flops are always where you ain't. It's part of the game.
