Sunday in a RL game, I busted with 3's.

With a freshly shuffled deck.

94 cards in the deck. In a three player on a fresh deck there are 3 cards played -> 91 cards left. If you have a “2”, there is a 1 out of 91 chance you bust. If you have an “8” and no other player is showing an 8, your chances to bust are 7 out of 91 or 7.7%. Frustrating but not “unlikely”
And yes I have busted on double 2s.

Played a table where an opponent busted in the first round with 2's:

He/she still won the game!

I've got worse luck than that. Your first card is "second chance". Someone else's first card is "Freeze" and they play it on you.

How about busting on 2’s three days in a row!

And I’ve got the receipts! 🧾

First game I played, we were playing recklessly and also had bad luck. It lasted 14 rounds. My Dad had 0 for the first 7 of those rounds. He kept busting immediately so many times. Double 8s. Double 5s. Double 10s. Double 11s.

I ended up laughing so hard my stomach started cramping. Very painfully. I had to lay down on the couch, stick a pillow under my back, and wait for the pain and clenching to calm down before I could continue playing. And while I'm suffering I'm thinking "If I actually have to go to the emergency room and explain to them 'My dad was so terrible at a card game I laughed myself into gut-ripping cramps', it probably won't be the dumbest thing they've heard but it will be a story".
