Default Starting to Feel Like Crapshoot!!

Recently I have been having a hell of bad run with AK both live and online. Last night I played a Deep Stack MTT and was doing great until AK came into the picture. I had to give myself a pep talk and shake it off because I don't want to become obsessed with it and ultimately make it my bad luck hand.

Well first hand of our THF Title Game I get none other than AK and it goes like this:

PokerStars Game #17176738272: Tournament #86259653, $5.00+$0.50 Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2008/05/03 - 16:00:00 (ET)
Table '86259653 2' 9-max Seat #3 is the button
Seat 3: k06mars (1500 in chips)
Seat 4: rocklandbb (1500 in chips)
Seat 7: Kaartkeizer (1500 in chips)
Seat 8: CardLovinCat (1500 in chips)
rocklandbb: posts small blind 10
Kaartkeizer: posts big blind 20
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to CardLovinCat [Ks Ad]
CardLovinCat: raises 40 to 60
k06mars: folds
rocklandbb: calls 50
Kaartkeizer: folds
*** FLOP *** [Kh 4d 3c]
rocklandbb: bets 80
CardLovinCat: calls 80
*** TURN *** [Kh 4d 3c] [4c]
rocklandbb: checks
CardLovinCat: bets 260
rocklandbb: raises 260 to 520
CardLovinCat: raises 280 to 800
rocklandbb: raises 560 to 1360 and is all-in
CardLovinCat: calls 560 and is all-in
*** RIVER *** [Kh 4d 3c 4c] [8c]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
rocklandbb: shows [4h 5h] (three of a kind, Fours)
CardLovinCat: shows [Ks Ad] (two pair, Kings and Fours)
CardLovinCat said, "ouch nh gg"
rocklandbb collected 3020 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 3020 | Rake 0
Board [Kh 4d 3c 4c 8c]
Seat 3: k06mars (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: rocklandbb (small blind) showed [4h 5h] and won (3020) with three of a kind, Fours
Seat 7: Kaartkeizer (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 8: CardLovinCat showed [Ks Ad] and lost with two pair, Kings and Fours

Then I jump right into game immediately after that and I get this:

PokerStars Game #17176916310: Tournament #87054938, $1.50+$0.25 Hold'em No Limit - Level I (10/20) - 2008/05/03 - 16:08:16 (ET)

CardLovinCat: shows [Ks Ac] (two pair, Kings and Sevens)
acemother collected 1180 from pot
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 1180 | Rake 0
Board [9d Ts Kd 7d 7s]
Seat 1: Densen21 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 2: ottonz folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 3: chip0375 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: Kainick folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 5: CardLovinCat (button) showed [Ks Ac] and lost with two pair, Kings and Sevens
Seat 6: Belzbub (small blind) folded on the Flop
Seat 7: acemother (big blind) showed [Td Kh] and won (1180) with two pair, Kings and Tens
Seat 8: sputnyc folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 9: TheKelt folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Am I bringing this on myself or am I just unlucky with them?

Your not bringing it on CLC, just don't let it become a curse or you will really go bonkers!
