Nothing I'm doing is working. I can't remember the last time I've won a flip. Trip kings against pocket 9's ran into runner runner 99 turn and river for quad nines today, AQ on a AQ3 board got the money in and my opponent's J/3 off wastes no time hitting a 3 on the turn yesterday. I'm not a believer in online poker being rigged, but I am getting unlucky and I don't know how to cope with it.

And likely, all this is probably making me play worse. Advice?
I play extremely well when I want to - and yet I get the downswing - nothing you can do about it other then recognize it and drop waaayyy down in level/buy-in and "EARN" your way back to playing normal stakes. For example: If you have $800 and you drop down to $300 - you have to play .11 cent bumblebees for a while (Turbo SNG) till you can beat that game. I am amazed that even though I play real well - like you said - your AA, KKK, AAAKK gets beat like 9 x in a row. Posted here about a $33 token satty tourney that I lost 9x all-in a row qwith KK QQ AK AK KK etc to lesser cards and rebought. That drained my Micro BR a ton. Sometimes its the cards - not you or your play - just have to drop way down and ultra-respect your bank roll.

I cash out at $215 back down to like $15 then build it back up - recently I was up to $128 and BAM lost every freakin hand even on .!! bumble bees down to $17 - but Now I'm back up to $65 by playing waaay below my normal buy-ins - no more multiple rebuys till I'm over $100.
