It sounds like your problem is that you open-fold your sets. If you don't do that, I don't believe that you lost with 21 sets in a row.

I don't believe it either.

However, open-folding sets is a serious power move. I like it all around.

When you are acting first and simply fold your hand after flopping a set. It is a rare move used only by expert players against tough opposition to save bets. I believe Feeney discusses this in some detail.

the odds of this happening are about .0001x the odds that you are making this up and are less than or equal to 17 years old.
