Can I get just one tiny break?
I won a $26 token on FullTilt and decided to play this KO tournament. I was doing well enough, not too far into the tournament when this hand came up and knocked me out. I can’t believe my luck. I should win this 77 times out of 100. That is, normal people would win this 77 times out of 100. For me, since I had all my money in the pot with the best hand, this is practically a guaranteed loser.

That hand really sucks.
There’s nothing you can really do about it.
