    Think we all go through these bad runs and i think the bes answer you are going to get is "it just happens sometimes".

    although just seing the hands like this doesn't help understand how you played them, how did you end up all in with k7 and A10?, even the A Q all in could of been avoided but without seing the hand who knows.

    The site is not rigged it just wouldnt make sense they are going to make the rake anyway.

    Soooooo i suppose just keep playing and try and run better :)

    K7 vs J7 isn't a flip (you're a pretty big favourite, like 70%+)

    A10 vs KJ isn't a flip either, more like 60/40

    But yeah it happens, it's not an issue with online poker, it's just probability at work. If you flip a coin 10 times, there's something like 20% chance it will come out 7+ heads or 7+ tails and 1in5 is not that outrageous.
