If you "always manage to be up $300 or $400, why not simply cash out when you are ahead and start from $100 again?
Anyways it is unlikely you are as unlucky as you think you are. First of all, in order to "always be up" $300 or $400 you probably won a few of these all ins before right? Do you think you should win every all in even if you are a 70% favourite? Do you know the odds of winning at 70% three times in a row?
(Hint: It's .7 * .7 *.7 = 34%). I'd suggest you start to keep track of how many times you go allin vs how many times you loose. You may find that you are doing better than you think.

With such minimal amount I always manage to be up to $300, $400 but than "big" hand is coming when I have to go All In. I do not go all in unless I am 70 or 80% favorite. But guess what? I get beaten every single time on the river: set by flash, straight by flash, flash by full house.... If I would chase my open handed flash with 40% favorite I will not get there, but my opponents have no problem to beat me with less outs.
Am I really unlucky? Any suggestions? Year is over and I am going through the same nightmare every two weeks, again and again.
