  I have just had enough with online poker. Today I lost like almost all of my stack on this hands A A vs A Ko pre flop all in , A A vs 10 10 all in preflop, and A A vs Q Q
  and who can tell me that is normal and the weird thing is that all of that happened in like 5 minutes of time. I am thinking that I will stick with live poker which is way more profitable for me. I played first time live tournament 11$ buy in which was first I ever played live 59 players and won it. Clearly internet poker makes me threw up when I lost like AA vs AKo with two K on the flop...I guess this state of mind for me will just last for a day of two but now I really don't see me playing online anymore. If u have any advice for me or you could share ur experience with live and online poker I would be glad to hear it.

  Well first off the sample size of 1 tournament doesn't mean your live play is hugely profitable. And yeah it will never happen that you lose 3 times with AA in 5mins at live table since its next to impossible to get AA 3 times in 5 minutes but bad beats are just as common as in online play
  
  You definitly have to improve your mindset.

  AA is not a "kill everything" gun.

  That were just a few of hands which I wanted to point out there were more suck outs and obviously hands where I were beat but today I wanted to straight my game up and its very hard when u get beat like that. And please don't talk with arrogance because it's really not what I need now.

  From my own personal experience the bad beats never end and I've ran below EV for well over 18 months now so if I was you I would just quit now before you become bitter and twisted and start getting chat banned like myself. Hope this helps.

  I know how you feel..had built my bankroll up again from zero (lost my previous $75 bankroll in the Full Tilt closure) to $6.50 playing freerolls on Pokerstars.
  Finished ITM a couple of times, which came to about $1.60, then invested it in 1/2 cent cash games...( bad BRM I know)
  So yesterday lost 50% of it on three hands..
  AA v QQ...Hero, Raise 4x UTG..BU Push All In..Hero..Call!!!
  Board : xQxxx..oh well
  AA v K6s...SB All In..Hero..Call!!!
  Board : xxKxK..wtf!!!
  Ak v A6os
  Board : Ax6xx.. ...fffffff!!!
  My friend has lost 6 hands in a row with KK v random Ax/Any two suited..so hope you take some consolation from knowing your not alone in the bad beat horror!!!

  When u've had quads cracked twice in a row then u can complain. That a proper bad beat aa all in pre flop v kk, qq, jj, there just pairs pair are the second worst hand in poker so if some 1 hits trips ur pair is no good simple.

  It happens to everybody, listen: You WILL win in the long run, who cares if you lost this time? You'll just win next time , or maybe in a year or so, but ull still have profit. No worries

  Stick with it finger bash the keys in the chat bar.If u get chat barred lifting the mouse of the mat a few inches and smashing it down helps if u run out of mouses buy a punch bag!
  
  This was my line to deal with the tilt rage until i became more experienced and realised why brm was so important.Now i am jst happy when i see fish winning means there is still some easy money out there..
  
  Good luck in the future stick with it.BRM BRM BRM BRM BRM BRM BRM BRM
