AKo vs. AJo preflop all-in running it three times and losing three times, chances of that happening is less than 2%...

Yup. I've done that to people, but I can't remember it ever happened to me.
In fact, IIRC "run it three times and win all three times" was once a honeymoon task on GGPoker.
It might have been only run-it-twice though.

I'm surprised my equity OTT isn't higher actually

Do what? you ask...
When faced with the choice of of what to throw away BvB, I will sometimes keep a cathop (three cards to a straight flush) when the pot is limped to me
This especially works well if you're holding 3 broadway cards, since pairing any of them will often result in a win.
Note: If a cathop is my best choice, I'll just throw the hand away, since the odds are nevah in your favah

But this time BB hit gold...

CO is 25/25 over 12 hands in my DB now. I rep a lot of strength when I 3bet UTG who is not full-stacked, his 4bet screems AA but we're deep enough to setmine. I really felt like 3betting the flop and turn my overpair into a bluff in a 4bet pot, I think any NL2 reg that does this has 99-QQ so any reg that thinks that should fold AA 100% of the time but in the end I decided that it was too ambitious to get someone to fold AA in a 4bet pot and I would have been incredibly tilted if that hadn't worked

Well folded!
