The lower the stakes you play the higher chance you'll find yourself in situations that make you post questions like this.

Lower stakes involve players more likely to push with hands you deem not a good move. I.e anything suited, 67o, 78o, 45o-even any hand with an A or a K in it.

What many people don't realise is a hand like Q7s still has 35% equity over a premium hand like AKs. So you will lose 1/3 of the time.

When you win in this situation you never remember it-it's just another donk pushing with rubbish and you win because you should win. However when you lose in this spot your brain tends to remember it as a 'bad beat' even though you should lose here 35% of the time.

Same goes for losing pair over pair (20% of the time the lower pair will win) 
AA to a hand like 69s (AA loses 23% of the time, almost 1/4)

Bad players tend to have 'good runs' where they win with only 35% equity multiple hands in a row and find themselves with huge stakes early in MTTs but they will never make the final few spots because they simply aren't good enough and probability will eventually equalise and they will be knocked out.
