Anyone that grinds for long enough has days like that.
Posting on a poker forum is probably not wise if your mind has been blown, as people with blown minds tend to say things that can't be proved with actual facts. Such people end up looking a bit stupid, to be honest.
After taking a day off, and perhaps looking more carefully at, say, 100,000 hands, maybe you'll be able to isolate a particular pattern in the 888's random generation of cards.
I've noticed some anomolies in my stats in HEM (QQ winning 5% more often than AA; pocket threes only flopping a set 6% of the time, while KK setted up a whopping 20% of the time, lucky me) but those figures come from a database of 11,000 hands. But I've only had aces 53 times, so it's far too soon to detect any pattern. Indeed,
there is no pattern in the short term, because the RNG generates
random numbers. By the time I've played 100,000 or a million hands, I'm sure every pocket pair will have made sets about 12.5% of the time and that aces will clearly have the highest winrate.
A sample size of "10 bad beats" is a sample size worth nothing.
