Playing poker, at times, can be extremely painful. There are an incredible number of ways that you can lose in this game, and while the particularly annoying people amongst us may point out that they all stem from simply having the weaker hand, there are a great deal of ways you can end up in that situation.
Let's say you've been dealt AA in a no limit hold 'em game and you have one caller heading into the flop. The flop comes out A82, with no real flush or straight possibilities on the board. After a series of raises, you push all-in with your trip aces, and are pleasantly surprised to find that your opponent has the IQ of a container of walnuts, seeing as they've called with Q2 offsuit.
Everything is going well until the dealer throws down the remaining two 2s in the deck onto the board, giving your opponent his lone out (which they had only 0.1% chance of making) and causing you to require a new pair of pants.
Assuming you haven't already died of WTFitis, you'd probably be in great deal of pain, especially if you'd put any money on the hand.
If this ever does happen to you, here's a list of painful things to remind you that you're not alone in your suffering:
AMUSING LIST:
1. Wedding Proposal Fail. Tack on 50 bonus points if it's extremely public.
2. Accidentally biting your tongue while eating.
3. Getting fired from your job. Unless you sort of deserve it...
4. Stepping on Lego blocks, barefoot, while walking to the fridge for a midnight snack.

Anyway, something tells me that today is going to be an interesting day, what with this being rather prominent on CNN's homepage. Maybe it's my good luck charm.
