Showdown futility

Some nights in poker, you can't win for losing. That's what happened to me in the first tournament I played last night. I went to showdown 5 times, and lost all 5 hands. My holdings weren't chopped liver, either. The one that hurt the most was the one where I hit the rail; I was a 95.45% favorite after the turn, but my opponent hit a two outer on the river.
