the worst thing that could happen...

I'm just pointing out that that having your cards dealt short is not quite the worst thing that can happen to you at a table.

Nope. The worst thing would be more like this...
You're happily playing along. The waitress is kinda foxy, and you're flirting a little with her. You're up a few bux, you've had a few beers. The colts are ahead, and you've got a bennie bet on them to win! Life is grand. Viva Las Vegas!
Then you get aces. You raise before the flop. You get reraised. Two calls, you make a HUGE reraise all-in, everyone calls. The BEST hand you're facing is J2o. The waitress winks at you...
WHAM!!!!! SOME FRIGGIN' JERK WEARING STEEL TOED BOOTS COMES ALONG AND KICKS YOU RIGHT IN THE NUTS!!!!
As an aside, your aces lose to Js2d, who hits runner-runner trip deuces.
The waitress then spills hot coffee in your lap, just in case your nuts weren't sore enough already. At almost the same time you find out she's a man-hating lesbian who was just working your sorry ass for tips. As you're writhing in agony on the floor, you see the jerkoff kicker for the other team make a last minute 59 yard field goal, EVEN THO THEIR TEAM WAS BEHIND BY EIGHTEEN POINTS, thus making certain that you DON'T "cover the spread."
Oh yeah, and they're out of your favorite brand of beer, so they bring you an O-douls. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
