One showdown

Every poker player in any tournament ever is always guaranteed to go to showdown at least once, that time being when his/her final hand is played. It's a very bad thing if that's the only time you go to showdown, since that guarantees you missed the money. In the one tournament I played yesterday, that's exactly what happened to me. I played just 16 hands, and folded before the flop on all but two of them. The first time time I paid to see the flop was on hand five, when I'd been dealt a big slick. I got to see all of the community cards, but had to fold to a big bet on the river, so I didn't go to showdown. The second time I paid to see the flop was on my final hand. I was short-stacked, and called a bet which put me all in. That was the only time I went to showdown. For the record, my final holding was K2o (king deuce offsuit).
