Losing to magical runouts. I've lost flops where I was 98% favorite late in tournament...

not a good feeling.

Another thing is when you get it all in as the big fav and if you win the hand you win the tourney but luck gives you an enema.

I like to save screenshots when I make FTs. Looking back, I've had at least 5 instances in the last couple of years in the final two where if I won a hand (where I was a big fav going in) I would have won the tourney. Instead I lost the big pot and ended up 2nd. There are probably a few more than that. I just didn't grab a screenshot of everything. I don't remember anymore.
 
 I am talking about hands like AQ vs A6, or QQ vs. 55 type of AIPF showdowns.

On the flip side I've also gotten lucky a few times, but luck has definitely hurt me more than it has helped.

Even when I do win it's like pulling teeth. This year I had one where it was KK vs. 9T. It went all in on the flop. Villain made trips on the turn and I needed a miracle river K to win the tourney.  In another, I first lost AA vs JJ AIPF, then the very next hand it was KK vs. KQ and the other guy flopped a straight! I had to get runner runner FH to survive and then I ended up needing a river Q (I had AQ) to beat A8 on the final hand. He flopped an 8. Again, AIPF, and again, was the big fav when all the chips went in.

Head spinning stuff when thinking about the unlikely probabilities.
