I'll try to remember to put together some quick pictures explaining HEM2 filtering for what I was talking about sometime later today.

I mean, it's overall feeling i get, i can't remember last time i have seen supernova in a big spot with, for example AA vs QQ, and them losing the pot because a Q comes. And it is supposed to be 80/20, however, in those big pots everything goes smooth, they can't even lose a flip.
whosnext made a really good post explaining why this happens just above your first post here, it might help explain this phenomenon.
Basically the gist of it is your brain has decided on a pattern (Supernovas win more than they should) and it's continually gathering new evidence that supports that ("OMG, the Supernova was a 20% favorite and sucked out!") while
ignoring any evidence that doesn't support it ("LOL dude lost as a 20% favorite like he should have, moving on").
It happens to all of us, a big part of improving at poker is learning to ignore any false patterns that appear. When I first started out, I filtered my hands to show which had won me the most money, and instead of finding AA or KK at the top, I had won the most with Q9s so dumb little beginner me decided that that hand was lucky for me.
