[Jman28]

Wow. Yeah, I've seen bad beats, but never one like this.

How did that guy play the rest of the tourney?

[River2Pair]

Well he'd push with about anything. I pretty much stayed out of his way. He busted KK with T8. Despite all his miracle wins though, he finished 6th. I guess you can't play that bad and win very often.

I guess I'm not really one to talk though. I made most of my chips cracking aces with my cowboys in the first round. At least its logical to want to get your chips in the middle with kings.

[patrick dicaprio]

that is a bad one but that is also what you get when you decide to limp with KK.

Pat

[Kurn, son of Mogh]

At least he was bluffing you and bet all-in. I got knocked out of a tournament once where I flopped top set, pushed and got *called* and beat by a guy who needed two inside runners.

[Dominic]

hey, I've had my quad Kings - on the flop - cracked by runner-runner quad Aces...in a live, 15-30 game...with no jackpot.

Beat that! /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

[RowdyZ]

Well it was a stupid bluff but since nobody had shown strength (Kings slowplaying) maybe he thought he could steal a pot since being in the SB he could have about anything and that flop might have hit him and was ragged enough to miss everybody else. It would have been a much much worse beat if head called an allin bet from the Kings and sucked out on him like that. He was just trying to steal the pot and got lucky when he ran into the better hand, tough but I don't call it a bad beat really because the kings kinda asked for it.

RZ

[naphand]

Yeah that is as bad as they come. The runner-runner-only-2-cards-in-the-pack draws after the flop I think are 1,081:1 (2/47 x 1/46). Although strictly speaking they probably do not have your 2 cards, so it is actually (2/45 x 1/44) or 990:1.

Your example looks better than mine but the odds are exactly the same:

Flopped set of 777 against pocket 55 (board K79). Turn 5 (lots of chips). River 5 (more chips). My opponent refused to believe he made a mistake, even after I told him what I had and suggested he check the hand history for confirmation. Never mind, they don't get any worse.... /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Dominic]

I also had one very strange bad beat...

10-20 limit game...

I had Q-Q in the BB...It's raised to me, I reraise get one caller so it's heads up. The flop comes Q-5-5. I've just flopped a boat. I check, the other guy bets, I raise, he calls.

The turn is another 5. I bet, he raises me, I re-raise him, he thinks about it and re-raises me again! I'm thinking this is great, he's got the other Q. My Queens full is going to beat his fives full. I just call hoping to pop him on the river some more.

The river is the FOURTH FIVE! I'm stunned. I check, he bets, I call.

Of course, he turns up A-Q...he's got four fives with an A kicker that beats my 4 fives with a Q kicker.

Now that one hurt.

[Cleveland Guy]

As long as we are on it - I'll give a story from the other side.

About halfway through a 20MTT. I have about 9K in chips - my villan has about 7K, average stack is about 5K.

He raises preflop to like 3 or 4x BB (bout 600). I look at pocket 77 and call. Flop comes 9xxr. He bets, a huge over bet, like over half his remaining stack. I think he's holding AK and trying to buy the pot, so I call. He turns over 99.

Turn: 7
River:7

I was counting my lucky starts.

[Dominic]

That's funny...

Early in my poker career I was drawing to what I thought was an open-ended Ace-high straight...hit the straight on the turn, other guy calls my bet and he hits his nut flush on the river. I almost muck, cursing my luck. I flip over my cards to show what I just lost with...and suddenly all the chips are being pushed at me!

WTF?

Oh...his nut flush card made me a Royal.. Oops. Didn't even see it, I was so consumed with hitting my straight.

/images/graemlins/blush.gif

[Toro]

This one didn't happen but would have been hilarious if it did. I was playing 2 sngs at the same time while perusing 2+2 posts.

I was in great shape on both of them when all of a sudden I look and I'm down to 200 from over 3000. I see my opponent won the hand with pocket aces and I had 2,3o. I'm stunned and trying to figure out what the hell happened. Somehow with all the switching between the 2 tournies and this forum I managed to call an all-in bet after the flop with 2,3o when the flop completely missed 2,3 with no draws.

Can just imagine what my opponent might have been saying and doing if I hit a miracle runner, runner to beat him. But that only happens in the movies and to the other guy, not me.

Please explain - I'm kinda confused. If he had the "Nut FLush" so the A /images/graemlins/heart.gif or K /images/graemlins/heart.gif (if the A was on the board) - how did you end up with the royal?

[kevyk]

I once got all my chips in the middle with the chip lead vs. the final two opponents of a SnG. If I won the hand, I won the SnG. I had KK, and got called by QQ and KQo. The flop came rags, and the only way I could lose was if the case queen hit. Of course it did, and I was crippled.

[Dominic]

It was a while ago so my memory of the hand isn't great...I just remember the card that made his flush - the 10spades, counterfeited the red 10 in my hand but gave me a royal while giving him a flush...so obviously he couldn't have had the "nut" flush, huh? Plus, I was new to poker and might be rembering it wrong...all I know for sure is that his flush card made my royal...

I beat some dude about a year ago who flopped quad Kings and I got runner-runner Royal Flush...

And Mohegan Suns has no jackpot, either.

He still doesn't talk to me, especially after we raised and reraised each other for the $400 or so we each had in front of us as he didn't see the Royal Flush on the board.

Oh, well.

FTLT...

I was in a SnG the other day, and early on I get cowboys. There's a raise before me, so I go all-in. There's another caller of my all-in, and of course the raiser calls.

What do they flip? KK and AA.

And what happens? The KK's hit the straight.:)

[BrettK]

What's the worst possible beat? I was thinking about this the other day and the best one I was able to come up with was the following:

There are ten people all-in preflop.

Player A has AdAh.
Player B has AcAs.
Player C has KdKh.
Player D has KcKs.
Player E has QcQs.
Player F has JcJs.
Player G has TcTs.
Player H has 9c9s.
Player I has QhJh.
Player J has Th9h.

Player C can win this hand only if he sees the 9d, Td, Jd, and Qd over five cards for the K high straight-flush.
If I've calculated correctly(which is highly improbable), the odds against player C sucking out are 7192:1.

Brett

[BrettK]

Hmm. I forgot something. Player B can be completely removed. This should make the odds against the suckout 9275.2:1. I hope someone better with numbers will correct me if I'm wrong.
