I guess I can't let bad plays and bad beats get me down. While these suckouts happen to me more than occasionally, they only happen because I started out with the best hand. What I find more perturbing is when I absolutely cannot get action on my decent hands: those tourneys are much harder to win.
Bad Beat #1
2nd level of 45 player sng, I'm in the BB with Ad 4d - about 7 limpers.
Flop 235 rainbow, so I've got the nuts (although you can't rule out 46o, I figured I could take my chances). I bet the pot.
2nd player to act, with just a few less chips than me, goes all in. It's an obvious call.
He flips TT
Me: 95.05% to win
Turn: T
I'm still 70% to win.
And he pairs the 3.
Bummer
Bad Beat/Play #2
9 player sng, blinds are 75/150, 6 players remaining
I have 77.
Two clownfish limp in ahead of me, so I raise to 4BB (about 1/3 of any of our stacks), one stays, one goes.
Flop 689 rainbow
I make the probe bet, he stays.
Turn 7
At this point I push all-in. I'm pot-committed with only 4M if I fold, and unless he's got trips or AT, I've got the best hand right now. If I'm beat, I'm beat.
He turns over T4s for a straight, and I fail to catch a miracle T to survive.
