Baby cowboys cracked

Last night, on the final hand of the second tournament I entered, my baby cowboys were cracked. That is to say, I was dealt pocket jacks, but they failed to hold up. Aside from the normal pain of hitting the rail in a tournament, I had the additional pain of seeing my odds of winning steadily increase as the final hand played out. Preflop, I was a 67.48% favorite. After the flop, I was a 75.35% favorite. After the turn, I was an 88.64% favorite. However, my opponent hit a 5 outer on the river, and that was all she wrote.

An interesting oddity about last night's session is that the number 37 figured prominently; I lasted 37 hands in both tournaments, and came in 37th place in the first one.
