I completely understand your pain. I was on a terrible run not too long ago. I lost my buy ins with all sorts of 70-30+ situations. And to add insult to injury, my friend at the table next to me hitting the bad beat jackpot. Yes, i go bust on a near $200 pot that i went all in on the flop as a 87% favorite on and my friend hits the bad beat 20 minutes later.

you just have to realize it is variance and you are making the right play and are a long term winner. Never feel good about going in even money or as an underdog and winning, it is fools gold and you are a fool to be happy that you made a bad play and got lucky and won. You are as bad as the players who caused you the pain of your bad run by going in against you as a 20-80 underdog when you do that. I make the right play knowing im getting at least 65-35 odds every time, and when i lose i say thanks to my opponent for making the bad play (i dont really tell them "thanks" that would be insulting and phil helmuth-like).

Now as of recent i am finally out of my funk. I still hit bad beats but who doesnt? i put the money in good every time knowing i will win way more than i lose, and just hope the pots im losing aren't huge compared to the ones im winning (now that would be bad luck).
