Flipped my hand and didn't recognize any of my four cards.
Ouch! Been there.

I once got it in with an open-ended straight flush draw against three flopped sets in theopening level of a $20 home game tourney (@krafticus was there I'm pretty sure). Bottom set actually folded after committing about a third of his stack before the final shove. Yes, I hit.
Let's not forget you hitting a 1-outer to make quads in a $2000+ pot at a home 1/2 game
Or Mark getting beat with a 1-outer to a gutshot straight flush
That happened to my buddy at a tournament a month ago. Him and the villian were by far the two big stacks; villain had him slightly covered. He's still kicking himself for mixing it up with that stack on the last hand before the break in the later stages of the tournament.Or Mark getting beat with a 1-outer to a gutshot straight flush

His nut flush got beaten by a one outer to the inside straight flush.
Ouch.
Did you sing "karmakarmakarmakarmacomeachameleon..." after the hand?
Another hand against AMV - I had 89dd and raise to $12 in the BB. 5 callers. Flop 944. I bet $25, only AMV calls. Turn 3. Check-check. I lead $25 on 7 river and AMV flats. He has 34 for boat. WHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAT?!?
Calling a 5-bet on the flop against Old-Man-Coffee with top pair crappy kicker doesn't usually turn out so well.
turn is the 2d, and I check fold to the SB's shove.
What kind of weird game are you playing where the SB is not first to act after the turn?
Makes more sense if he's on the button, which I think he was... oh well, he shoved, I folded. I lost the pot. I was ahead until the turn. He had a weak ace (unsuited). I wanted to charge flush draws, and lost. Meh.
As soon as he is out of earshot, i ask floor if we can hold the game until he returns. Table all nodding, and floor agrees.
Exhibit B: Tourney
Down to 3 handed, I am short stack with about 15BB. In SB with K3. Button fold, I limp, BB checks (I don't recall blinds, but they were approaching nosebleed).
Flop: K-8-4
I bet pot, BB ships to put me all in. I figured here is as good a spot as any, so I call. I flip K3, BB shows K2.
Chop, right?
Turn-2
River-2
I lament my misfortune, as BB gets up, runs into the other room to tell the cash game players "GUYS!!! YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!!!"
LOL...the story was more for the villain's reaction...3rd place paid, so I was all good, lol.
