"That's what you get for all your trouble"

I'm old enough to remember the big hit Dionne Warwick made in 1969 with the song "I'll Never Fall in Love Again", written the year before by Burt Bacharach and Hal David for the musical "Promises, Promises". Here are the opening lyrics:

What do you get when you fall in love?
A guy with a pin to burst your bubble
That's what you get for all your trouble
I'll never fall in love again

Sometimes, poker reminds me of this sentiment :-) For all the trouble I took in the MTT 8-game tournament I played last night, in which I "made the money", what I actually got for it was a loss of $1,000. I'll never play another MTT 8-game again! (of course, that's simply not true :-)).
