The Worst Luck

I have the worst luck lately. Been running incredibly bad for a week. Here are a couple examples of what I mean:

I get A-A for the first time in five days. Big raise pre-flop and get two callers. One to my immediate left and one to my immediate right.

Flop comes J-10-4 rainbow.

The only thing that bothers me is a potential straight if I hit my set. So I bet big.

The player to my left raises me and the player to my right folds.

I re-raise.

The player to my left re-raises me.

I put him on pocket 10s and fold.

He shows the set of 10s.

A few hands later, I get 10-10 and call a pre-flop raise.

The flop comes Q-10-3 rainbow.

The original raiser overbets the pot. I put him on pocket queens and fold middle set.

He shows Q-Q.

And finally, I get A-K and raise.

The flop comes A-K-4.

Clearly ahead in the hand, I overbet the pot hoping to take it down “just in case”.

I get action.

The turn is a deuce.

I bet and get re-raised.

I call.

The river is another 4.

In my experience, three pair is useless.

My opponent shows 4-2 for a full house.

Lately, I have the worst luck.
