Hows this for an underdog

I believe the biggest underdog you can be headsup is KK vs K2(where 2 is the same as one of the KK). Last night in a low limit NL home game, the following hand occurred where the chances of me winning the hand outright after the 3 hands are shown are over 5000-1. I was about a 40-1 underdog in splitting the pot.

I had TsTc. Opponent 1 had TdTh and opponent 2 had KsKc.

The flop was QJx. The turn was a K, giving us an open-ender. No save on the river and the favorite won the hand.

The only chance I have for an outright win is a straight flush.

Reminds me of a hand posted a while back where the Hero was all-in with AA against 2x KK, 2x QQ. Just for kicks lets get one of the KK guys drawing dead because he is suited with the AA. Seems like a good spot to be for mr AA ... board comes 222, turn 2 ... river A for a 5 way chop and only the house wins this time.
