Misfortune continues to deal hard-luck former slugger Jose Canseco a bad hand.

Canseco said on Twitter Friday night that he was playing cards at poker tournament in Las Vegas Friday when his badly injured middle finger on his left hand fell off.

Never let a bad hand prevent you from going all-in when you sense that your opponent is runner runner for a busted flush. But this may have been the worst hand ever. It fell apart pre-flop.

How about those royal flush girls?

Usually it’s not nice to give your poker buddies the finger.

Most of these gun cleaning disasters occur after a few pops of alcohol. I mean how stupid do you have to be to not remove all bullets before cleaning it. This has been a punchline and joke for years...... probably centuries
