Playing in a 27 person SNG online, I am sitting pretty snug in 2nd place with 14 players remaining. In an unraised pot, playing J/Q in the small blind, The flop is 3/4/J. I bet a half pot bet, everyone folds but one player. The turn is a queen, I bet pot size, the player calls. River is a king, I bet about 1/2 his remaining chips, he calls and turns over K/K for a set. Now well below average stack, on the button I limp with J/10. Flop is J/10/x with one club. I shove all in, the chip leader calls with 10/2 of clubs. Runner runner clubs and I am gone. Unbelievable.
Playing another SNG, I flop a straight with 9/10 (flop is J/Q/K). Caller has J/Q. River brings another Queen. Later, I flop 2 pair on same flop with K/Q. Caller has 9/10, his straight holds up. How wrong is this?
Either I am the unluckiest player in poker or the worst. Haven't decided yet. Keep getting snapped by inferior hands, like this morning AJ vs K10, he flops two kings. Queen high flop, I have Q8, all in called by 6/8, he gets runner runner flush. Bad luck or what? I hate this game.
It continues. Just knocked out of another tournament. In BB with Q/Q, 3 limpers. I shove, called by J/9. He hits a J on flop and 9 on river.

You are NOT a bad player. You are an unlucky player. As you know, poker is cyclical. You will get yours someday. Hopefully sooner than later. I feel the same way most of the time, getting my money in good with the best of it and my hand rarely holding up. Patience. I know it's tough.
