Ignition poker is pissing me off
I put 150$ in my account. I play .25/.50 50$ buy ins. Lost most of my money with 3 flopped set over set, quads over quads within 2 hours. I'm not sure what's going on but I feel like something's not right. The last 3 deposits I've lost to amazing hands Aaa over Kkk type shit. Do you guys have any opinions? I can't imagine this happens regularly to other players. I think I'm done playing online and I'm only sticking to live play after my last few buy ins.

Standard.
I hate to say this - but "poker is rigged believers" are on level playing field with "flat earthers" in my book.
What you experienced is nothing other than simple variance. Nothing more.
It's also a case for cognitive dissonance. Sure, you lost 3 or 5 buy ins - and you took some nasty beats - but do you remember any of the hands you won or anything positive about the session(s?) Probably not, and there are two reasons.
1) we are preordained to believe internet poker is unfair or rigged and looking for reasons to support this mentality.
2) volume. I'm assuming you are playing at least 10x more hands per hour than you would live.
Clearly you just happened to run into back to back coolers. I'm sorry. Been there, many times.
The solution to playing online and being successful - at least during any downswing is to try to hit and run. When you are up, log off. Don't chase and don't be results oriented. If you can't do those few simple things - ignition is not for you. Playing live is no doubt, less gut wrenching.
Good luck. keep at it.
