Party Poker setup? I know it sounds stupid...

[MadNinja]

Without trying to sound like a cry baby I'd like to get some feedback on this. I am very curious about the hands that I get beat with the day following a big payday. This is not the first time that it has happened and I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a similar pattern.

Yesterday on Party Poker I played a $50 table and got up to over $300. I thought it was kind of odd the amount of Aces I had been dealt, but since I kept winning with them I didn't mind. However, today I was playing and noticed something a little fishy. Every hand I had won up until the river (eg. QQ vs. 10-10, AK vs 99 with K on the board) and every straight I had made got beat out on the river. Not to exaggerate but at least 80% of my straights lost to a flush and every pair I got dealt and flopped a set with got beat by higher set. Not to mention the numerous 2-pair hands that got beat by sets or straights.

I understand that these things happen in the game and am aware of the so-called guaranteed "randomness" of the hands. But in the same breath I am really curious to understand why everytime I win big it sems as though I am "set-up" with losing cards.

Before you go telling me to stop bitching (which is what I would probably say to myself) I want you to know that I played relatively tight and conservative as opposed to too loose and aggressive once I started winning. If you were to examine most of these hands in question I feel that most of you would've made the same calls.

I can understand losing on the river a couple of times a day but I lost EVERY time that I had an all-in call. I'm talking hands I should've won. KK lost to a set of 3's on the river, a nut flush on 4th street lost to a flush on the river, etc. And if this was a tournament I'd completely understand.

I was wondering if anyone else had had the same problem. I have had this happen about 4 or 5 times now. And as much as I know it sounds stupid I honestly feel like it was "set-up". While I know this is probably not the case I was wondering if anyone had any feedback to calm me down a bit (after I unistall Party Poker for the 5th time!!!!). Unless of course this is what they call catching COLD CARDS?

Thanks.
