Maddest SnG I've ever played |

I sit down at a $20 SnG at PS and the first 6 hands I get are:
KT (flop KTA and win a nice pot)
49
TT
TT
A5 (flop 234 and win)
TT
All 3 TT lose of course so I'm about on the start money after 6 hands. Fair enuff.
We play on and I get a run of:
88
KT
JJ
TT
And take down some nice pots.
A little later on I lay down JJ to some1's all-in only to find that two guys both flip 99 and split the pot. Suddenly I begin to realise that it's not my day and there is no way I can win.
Wouldn't you know it, a little later I call an all-in with 22 thinking he has an Ax. He does indeed flip AT and promptly hits an Ace. The very next hand, I have AQ and shove all-in, a guy calls with 77 and flops a 7 to rub it in while I river an Ace for that extra humiliation.
I reckon I played about 50 hands, had a good or great starting hand more times than I've ever seen in that space of time, played most of them 'right' and yet busted out in 6th. I guess being on the losing end of a coin flip with the PP and Ax really bangs home that you are not destined to win 
This ain't no bad beat story either, shit happens. I'll be back

Some days its like destiny states you are not going to win whatever cards u get and however well u play. Guess the best thing to do is to go do something else and come back another day when fate is on your side.
