Default something fishy at party?

Hello. Please don't scoff at me as some poor loser. I am a long term winner and also have suffered through numerous downswings.

However, something doesn't feel right this time. For two weeks now I am losing so many unbelievable ways it is amazing. Whether it is time after time of getting into a pot only to have it completely miss and have to fold or getting a legit hand on the flop only to lose to something totally preposterous it is the deja vu of this losing, losing, losing that makes me wonder.

I have repeatedly told friends that say it is fixed that there is no way. Now I'm questioning my stance. Could it be that they could have altered their stance of "all we need are players and the rake is a cash cow?"

I can't believe I am even suspicious but I am.

Tell me I am crazy and that it is a natural blip. Or are others a tad nervous?

Feels that way when anyone runs bad. I'm in a downswing myself at the moment. But its not rigged, its just luck or you're not playing as well as you normally do... possibly the second due to the first.

This post will only get you flamed.

I'm 100% serious in my reply. If he's thinking like this, he either:

A) Doesn't understand variance.
B) Hasn't studied poker long enough to know that this is normal. In which case he can't possibly be a winning player for sure.
C) Doesn't have the stomach for downswings.(psychologically)
