My theory is that if you play poker in a way that you often find yourself ahead when the cards are turned over then you are generally trying to dodge luck from your opponent. With that in mind, there are fewer times when you will need to hit your card(s) to help you win a hand and more times you will have to dodge your opponents hitting their card(s) so those times when you need to hit your card are magnafied and those times when your opponent hits seem to happen often...but I think the "numbers" do actually work out over time.

But that's just what I tell myself so that I feel better when I end up on the wrong end of running cards or don't hit my outs.
