Runner runnered

There was a time, about 6 years or so ago, when I didn't believe there was such a thing as a bad beat. Silly me :-) Not only is there such a thing, but there's a whole menagerie of them; some are much worse than others. Perhaps the very worst of the lot is the runner runner.

This is an excerpt from my June 30, 2016 post. I was runner runnered on the final hand of the final tournament I played yesterday. I was short-stacked, and shoved preflop with a pair of sevens. I flopped a set, and was in great shape to win the main pot, as the flop was a rainbow with no pairs. The third card of the flop happened to be a diamond. The turn and the river were both diamonds, and I lost to a diamond flush. Whatcha gonna do?
