I have had bad runs of cards in the past before, but not quite like the last several days on Merge. Just referring to hands with my AK vs Ax, or Kx, it sure seems the x is pairing up an awful lot. For instance, today, I get AK in the sb, blinds 75/150. Utg+1 player (loose/aggr) makes it 400, next player calls, it fold to me, I push all in for a bit over 1400 total, the original raiser mucks, the smooth caller, calls and turns up K,10 off. 10 immediately flops. Happening a lot lately, similarly with AK against say, A6 off, the 6 flops, and its over. I call it the "Murphy's Law of Poker", i.e. if it can happen, it probably will. Ok, well I vented enough. Eventually I'll get out of this mini slump.
