I'm currently on a fun little downswing over 4 sessions. Each session I've more-or-less only managed to get my stack in ~once, with these being the those spots:
1) KK vs 75 all-in preflop for $150 with $40 dead money. 82% fave.
2) 44 vs JJ (with another JJ folding the flop) all-in for $240 on 874dd with $75 dead money. 93% fave.
3) 99 vs KQ all-in preflop for $200 with $60 dead money. 56% fave.
Even as the 93% fave, I'm still going to lose 1 outta 14 times. As the 82% fave, still going to lose a rather run-of-the-mill 1 outta 5 times. And as the 56%, even though it's a really nice +EV spot, it's still just a ~flip as to whether I win the hand.
These things happen all the time. The fun thing you then have to learn to deal with is when they all seem to occur one-after-another-after-another, especially when they're basically the only spots you're putting big chips in, especially in a LLSNL conditions where you're very rarely in these spots versus the number of long drawn out hours you're playing.
My guess is that perhaps the biggest advantage winning players have over losing players (even outweighing their differences in overall strategy) is how they deal with this stuff compared to their opponents.
