Apockalypse now

There are certain situations which arise at a poker table when everyone who stays in the hand more than willingly puts all their chips into the middle. Every so often such a hand shows up on a televised poker show. The hand which escorted me out of the third sit and go I played last night was worthy of such a broadcast. Here's how it went down: I was dealt Qs Qd, an opponent was dealt Qh Qc, and a second opponent was dealt Jc Js. In other words, it was pocks vs. pocks vs. pocks. Apockalypse now! We all went all in preflop. The flop came 5d 4h 2c, the turn was Ah, and the river was a dagger through the heart - the jack of hearts. Running the numbers, before the flop I had a 2.04% chance of winning the hand, a 21.02% chance of losing it, and a 76.14% chance of chopping the pot. Once again, it was a case of a hand which just wasn't meant to be.
