KT, I've had multiple periods that I am pretty sure statistically were not likely to happen even once during the course of my lifetime. I'm not talking about losing money. I'm talking about the probabilities of losing a specific hand given the probabilities pre flop or on the river and then losing a bunch of them in a row. I once lost 5 played hands in a row when my opponent only had a 2 or 3 outer on the river. That's one of the reasons I stopped playing much even though I was winning over the long haul. It was way too frustrating to deal with the close to impossible so often. ;-)

Two Irishmen were adrift in a life boat following a dramatic escape from a burning freighter. While rummaging through the boat's provisions, one of the men stumbled across an old lamp. Secretly hoping that a genie would appear, he rubbed the lamp vigorously. To the amazement of the castaways, a genie came forth. This particular genie, however, stated that he could only deliver one wish, not the standard three. Without giving much thought to the matter the man blurted out, "Make the entire ocean into beer!" The genie clapped his hands with a deafening crash, and immediately theentire sea turned into the finest brew ever sampled by mortals. Simultaneously, the genie vanished. Only the gentle lapping of beer on the hull broke the stillness as the men considered their circumstances. One man looked disgustedly at the other whose wish had been granted. After a long, tension filled moment, he spoke: "Nice going idiot! Now we're going to have to piss in the boat."
