running Lava

"When you run fucking lava, how do you keep your cool?"

Running hot is the greatest feeling... you can do no wrong. Suited connectors flop nut straights, position playing ATC and flopping trips, and simply, having KK hold up against ... hell... anything.

But when you run fucking lava, you are running so hot it burns. AA cracked 3 times by pp's when the money is in PostFlop. 3 outted by hands that should normally triple you up. You, and your opponent have no choice... the money is going in, you are ahead.. DOMINATING... and you can't win to save your life. I'm not talking about losing races, or every now and then you get plucked by a thin draw... but over and over and over and over 90/10 or better, and you can't hold up.

When you run lava... how do you stay cool? There's only so many times I can chalk it up to variance, unluck, or "that's poker".
