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.
