Not wrong, just a bad beat. That happens to the best of them. There is nothing we can do about it but move on. If you dwell on it, then it will affect your game and put you on tilt.

With blinds still low and both with decent stacks, connectors are good cards to play. I don't think rigging is the cause, but the RNG is not dealing random enough for my standards. I see way to many flops that hits three players hands to the point that it is just ridiculous. Some how I may not folded two pair there either, especially if I put you on AK, AA, and any other hand.
