You always know that an overpair can lose to a lower pair tripping up. In my case, there was extremely heavy betting before the flop on all three hands (this was no limit hold em), so chances were there were good hands out there. In all three cases, I ended up head to head against my opponent before the flop (i.e. all other players folded) with all our chips in the pot. The thing that is a long shot is that one player will lose in this situation three times in one night with the lower pair tripping up. I expect it to happen from time to time, but not three times in three hours. This is not as bad as a lot of horse racing beats, but it was bad enough that the third time I was head to head all in with somebdoy, the rest of the poker room stopped to watch the hand and people were talking abuot it the rest of the night. I was just in the same poker room today (a month later) and nobody mentioned it (and nobody even mentioned it the next week). It was a bad beat, but not colossal.
