Bad runs happen to everyone, it's all a part of the game's variance. Not to go categorize myself in the "KMA"-group, but I personally nearly see red when I see people doing one of two things pre-flop with aces or kings. 1. Just limp in to hide the strength of the hand (that's inviting all sorts of suited connectors and one-gappers to join the pot and suck out. VERY dangerous) 2. Just make the minimum bet possible pre-flop to possibly get at least one caller in order to make money on later streets. (same problem as in the first part)

But anyway, I do know exactly how that feels. I had a huge slump about two months ago, where I just got sucked out on constantly, and it lasted nearly three weeks. All you can do is ride it out and remember that the suck outs and bad beats happen, there is no way to prevent it. In a way, one should be glad (yeah, I know how likely that is ) that those happen, because it means players put their money in with a weaker hand, hence making a big mistake, and after 100 similar situations, you got the cash, they don't.
