I totally agree with eldave that this kind of stuff can really screw up your game. I really find myself questioning my play nowadays because I just don't trust the numbers anymore. When you're playing a game that's dependent on mathematics, and the math doesn't hold up, it really messes with your head.
I was recently playing in a SNG and I looked up everybody else at the table and I was the only one who was a profitable player. Instead of being happy at being the shark swimming among fish, all I could think of is being in a minefield because I didn't feel like skill gets rewarded. Of course I got knocked out by having KK cracked by someone re-raising all-in with A5s then turning the ace...and I wasn't even the least bit surprised. That's what it's come to...I'm terrified that no matter how far ahead I am my hand won't hold up. I'm afraid to push and I'm afraid to call. I find myself hoping to take down small pots rather than risk getting crippled or busted, even when I flop the nuts. I'm a 96% ranked player and right now I don't feel like I have +EV playing against a table full of sub-50% players...it's so sick....
