Since I reached the top 5 in rankings, I've got bad beat after bad beat - so much so, it either makes me laugh, or I just smack my head knowing an impossible runner-runner is coming after the flop to knock me out. But I didn't see this one coming...

I get A9 and call a standard donk raise to $999. The flop comes 997.
Donk bets $1K I go all in. Donk calls with 72.
I win, right? Wrong.
Turn is 7.
Top full. I win, right?
River is a 7.
Runner runner quads over boat.

My most recent game, the new player got pocket AA 3X in a row. One over my KK, and one to boat me over trips and knock me out. This happens every game now. I don't want to be one of those guys that just checks until there are three people left. That's not poker. I understand why they do, though. Maybe this is all a coincidence, I guess.
