For your information and the irony of it all you were about 65% favourite when the money went in (the KQ hand), so it does not matter how you lost .. Would you feel better if the flop was J J J ?
In one session (I play 22 SNGs at once) I had my AA cracked 8 times in a row .. SO WHAT ??
lads ive discovered its not the russians, its aliens. i started this for a laugh but i cant keep it up anymore,
may all the suckouts be with you.
as a side note i finished fourth in a mtt last night for 375 dollars,i cracked aces four times with smaller pairs and had numerous runner runner suckouts,you cant win any big mtt without a bit of luck but on the other hand you have to gamble and give yourself a chance to get lucky.
for help with mtt watch the tribuncaeser video
good luck

no offence, but with 100 buy-in "downswing" on 5$ sng's I think it's best you either find a new hobby or learn how to play 'm properly.

hmm. it sounds as you need to read more about odds.. for example when you had 88 vs 73o. your odds are not 60%, they are about 87% to win. but that don´t mean you are going to win every time. you will still loose 13%.
Live odds is exactle the same as online odds, but when you play more hands online then you do live, it might seems that some sites are rigged, but after playing even more hands (if you play them well), and read more about poker. you will find out that they are not. It´s just variance.
