Here a graph of my session today. I lost every coinflip, aces got cracked by KQ, top pairs lost to set etc. The last hand sums it up:

MP3 is a fish with vpip 43 pfr 0

Preflop: Hero is UTG1 with K:c, A:h.
Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, MP3 calls $4.00, 3 folds, BB calls $3.00.

Flop: ($12.50) 8:h, K:s, 5:c (3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $7.00, MP3 calls $7.00, BB folds.

Turn: ($26.50) 4:h (2 players)
Hero bets $9.00(All-In), MP3 calls $9.00.

River: ($44.50) J:c (2 players)

Final Pot: $44.50.

Results follow:

Hero shows a pair of kings (K:c A:h)
MP3 shows two pairs, kings and jacks (K:d J:s)
MP3 wins with two pairs, kings and jacks (K:d J:s).

I wanted to throw my laptop out of the window after that.

Ok, I played some more hands and things turned up side down - I won every coinflip, aces and kings held and got trips with bottom pair when villain had the higher pair. It seems, that every downswing is followed by an upswing.

You dropped 2.5 stacks and make a post here? Wtf? I would have made zillion threads here if I would do this. Srsly, get used to it. Sometimes I drop 10 stacks or win 10 stacks, that's just variance.

it's not 2.5 stacks this is shortstack so around 12-13 stacks. however I think up to 20 stacks in sss should be considered standard.

Yes, it was 12,5 stacks, 1/4 of my bankroll in thousand hands.
Ok, I'll try to get used to it and not let it influence my game (pretty hard to accomplish). After all, upswings also exist.

I pulled another basically unreal trick - won a 5$ HU SnG being down to 20 vs villains 2980. But still, i hate variance. I wish I could win exactly 3$ every 100 hands, not more, not less
