						Hello all 
  I have not been playing all that long but I really enjoy the competition and the game in general. I am up and down but have learned alot in the last eight weeks or so. 
But now I have run into something that really has me scratching my head. Over the last seven days I have lost a lot of games, mostly heads up SNGs, with hands that I was the best going in after the flop and being drawn out on, I read the person perfectly, knew I had the best hand and still lost. Now I know this happens but it has happened to me 12 times in a row. The last time I had K 9 off suit. Had played the other fella for about 45 mins and had a pretty good feel for how he was playing, the flop came 3 5 9 rainbow. He had called and I had checked before the flop so I felt I had the best hand, even if he had a nine I figured my kicker was better. I bet two hundred, he goes all in. He had bet it up before when I bet and when I called with two pair he had nothing so I felt comfortable calling. I called and he had 6 9. The only card he could beat me with was a six, and he catches a six on the turn.  
Ok so Im sulking a bit....lol. I feel good about my playing because most of the time I am making the right decision statistically. But how do you keep these non stop aberations from affecting your play the next time you play?  
Thank you all for your imput 
Ralph
