As of today, I am in the red for the year. Obviously not a big deal just two weeks in, but it’s annoying. It has a lot to do with my pocket Aces never winning the damn pot. In fact, I am in the red for the year with specifically that hand as well:

So I’m guessing that when you have aces and see a queen on the flop your heart rate will go up – just a bit?
Honestly it does. That’s the worst thing about running bad- you start seeing monsters under the bed and making bad decisions. In that hand where my AA lost to QQ all-in pre-flop, I grimaced the second I saw the flop- Stars doesn’t show your opponent’s cards until the river, but I had a bad feeling….
