But I'm looking at the chance of getting dealt AA or KK, which drops it by half since both are 220:1.

I always raise big with these hands, so normally im heads up or against 2 people. I'm not worried too much about losing with aces or kings, it happens. But its frustrating when I simply don't get them.

hyper: How many hands do you usually play a week? I think I do around 1000, so maybe it seems like a lot to me since this is over a relatively long period of time.

I think I'd go mad if this kind of statistical anomaly continued for another 10k hands.
lately i haven't been playing much because of school. in fact these next 2 weeks i'll be playing next to nothing cuz of finals

i'm not good enough to quad table. the most i'll do is double table, so a little under 200 hands an hour (i play 6 max). when i had time i would play at least an hour a day....more on the weekends. so i guess 10 hours a week would be 2000 hands.

don't worry about the swings, it's all short term. some dude at 2+2 posted a 15BB/100 win rate over 12000 hands...at the 10/20 limits!! i think it was like 33 grand in profits.

just look over hands you've won and lost in and see if you made the right plays. the money will follow the expectation.
