So, I was playing tonight, got out drawn twice and became the short stack. I fold, and fold, and scratch, and fold to stay alive.
I get down to just a hair over 3x the BB, and am dealt AA. The table folds to me, and I push. The SB raises the bet, and the BB cannot fold fast enough. The SB turns over K/5h.
Of course, he flops a K, turns a flush draw, and catches a second K on the river.
I know I was betting into a situation where the play is to call me with any two, and I know that AA is FAR from a sure thing. But the RAISE is what slayed me. I couldn't stop laughing.
Earlier I was playing, and no matter what I could not hit a flop. I was down to about 10x the BB and decided the next decent hand I got, I would push with. Three people limp in, in front of me. I push all in. It folds around to the guy in first position, who had limped in. He decides to call my all-in with 4/3c. The bet was only about 1/3 of his chips, but 4 high!? He flopped a 4 there were two 8s on board and he turned the 3. Three pair 
My A high was no good.
These are the things that drive me NUTS!
