So long as you are getting in with the best hand there is not much you can do on getting out-drawn.

Like every other badbeat, the badbeat bubble seems to happen with and alarmingly high frequency online compared to live play.

Yeah, yeah, it is just my fevered imagination.

All I know is that when I'm the short stack I'm much happier to see my caller flip over 9-3 rather than A-A.  Personally I wouldn't call with 9-3 unless I was BB and it was 1 BB or less to call.  Even if I am big stack.

Amen Ice  ::)  I don't know how many times I have been on either end of that.  I would have a much larger bankroll, that's for sure. It hurts just as bad when you get rivered with the big stack or the short one.   The short calling all in on a marginal hand I can understand, but the big stack calling with 72os just to try to put the short stack out is just insane   :)

I've often had the same wonder myself.  Once I kept track of my river beats and my river victories and it turns out that the river beats only slightly outnumbered my wins.  I guess you just remember the beats better.
