I think Tom is a prime example of a "bad beat"

ok...not really, [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] but I don't know of a guy who has had the problems he's had...(WSOP bracelet stolen, wife divorced, busted broke, health problems) who hasn't brought it on himself thur drugs/alcohol/bad living.

Tom, on the other hand, seems to be a poster boy for the "Bad things happen to good people" movement. Life has delivered the poor guy some bad beats and it ain't always been his fault......

Arthur Ashe comes to mind. World class athlete (and all around class act) has non lifestyle related heart problems, then gets AIDS from a blood transfusion due to the heart problems. Oh yeah, he was in the hospital for brain surgery when he found out about the AIDS.
