bad beat

[snakehead]

my hand: AA

his hand: KT

flop: AKK

there is no poker god.

[mtdurham]

did he hit the last king on the turn or the river? And Im assuming it was unlimited heads up raising... so jsut how many bets did you put in without the 4th king...

[riverboatking]

there is a poker god.

he just hates you.

[Niwa]

Yeah there isnt a poker god.. You flopped your boat and has him beaten. What could you do.. There's equally small chance that your fourth ace comes up as his king. If it came up at least you played the hand right. Think of the long run.

[Thomsen]

ehhhh you win whats da problem ?

[ShamaLamDingDong]

THIS FORUMN IS FOR DISCUSSING POKER STRATEGY TAKE THIS BAD BEAT CRAP POST TO RGP OR SOME OTHER USELESS SITE.

That being said your play is to slowplay to the river ensuring no K comes up then jam it up as he will be jsut as willing to give you all his chips on the river as on the flop. If the 4th king comes you fold before the action is on you. There is no chacne of a split here.

SHAMA LAMA...DING DONG!

[andyfox]

My hand: Q-Q

His Hand: 9-6

Flop: 8-8-2

In your hand, you win 95.66% of the time; in mine I win 96.16%.

My result was the same as yours. And my guy cold-called my pre-flop raise.

[turnipmonster]

dare we ask what limit, and how many bets you went?

[Ulysses]

You were playing Gabe and he gave you 10 fewer bets than anyone else at the table would have?

[La Brujita]

Can I play this game? 15-30 Friday, AJ vs A3, three bets preflop.

JJ2 turn 4 river 5.

I think that might be my first bad beat post ever on this site. It feels cathartic (but not in the stimulating bowels sense of the word).

[SGS]

I have 55.

He has A,9o

Flop- 557 (two clubs), turn 8 clubs, river 6 clubs.

[JimRivett]

there is no poker god.

Yes there is, however he requires you to clock in on time! /images/graemlins/wink.gif
Had you done that not only would you have had a free lunch, you may not have sustained this "alleged" bad beat.

See you next time, Jim

[JimRivett]

Andy,

His 9 6 were sooted!

Jim

[Diplomatdcm]

come on if we are going to do this at least make is real bad.
Me: QQ
him: TT
flop Q24

[Yobz]

My hand 23 soooted
Flop A 4 5 of the same soot
We go all in he has KQ and j 10 soooted come!!
I lost a million dollars on that hand!!

[skp]

It's not the worst beat in HE (i.e. 989 to 1 shot) because your opponent had outs to a backdoor straight on the flop. On Party, I put a 989:1 beat on a guy a little while ago. I had 43 suited in the bb. 5 or 6 guys for a raise. Flop was 983 giving two guys sets. They both slowplayed. I hit a 3 on the turn. Capped 3 ways. I hit the case 3 on the river. 3 bets three ways.

There is a poker god and he is East Indian...heh...

Yes there is a poker god and is his name Asseus Rammus. What goes around comes around. I had 77 against TT once, and on the board came 7-T-2-5-7. I hit a 1/46 shot on the river and the guy did not even re-raise me once on the river. I get lucky, and then I get the looky.

[na4bart]

Yep. No God at times.

[J.A.Sucker]

You play bad, snakehead. Maybe you should try to rebuild, playing 46 tables of 50 cent/ 1 dollar online. I hope this helps. Maybe next time you won't lose this hand

[theBruiser500]

hahahahaha

[Justin A]

Turn queen, river jack.

You lose to a Royal Flush.

[Steve Giufre]

Only snakehead can post a bad beat and not get his balls busted to no end. Man, I'm jealous.

[andyfox]

When I mentioned to him that I had checked it out and my bad beat was slightly worse than his, he asked me what happened on the turn. I replied bet-call. He gave me the "look," and I knew how silly my post was: his turn was quite a few more expensive by quite a few more bets.

[random]

Lawrence, you don't play on PP do you? That could have been me... except I capped the river.

[Steve Giufre]

Im just fooling around Andy. I have a lot of respect for both of you guys and have learned a lot from the things you two have posted in this forum. BTW his was more expensive, but yours has much more bad beat entertainment value, since its a little amusing that he called you on the flop with that hand and some how turned it into a winner.

[Duke]

Excellent bad beat story. I like the concise ones the best.

One of my favorites (not mine, a buddy's):

AK, flop QJTr, turn 3. 7 bets on the turn and lost to quad 3's.

I hope there's some interesting twist like that. I'd be sad if this forum has slipped so far that snakehead is posting bad beat stories.

[andyfox]

I hadn't taken any offense, Steve. Just fooling around myself. I had spoken to snakehead that day and we had related the two hands to each other. Mine was in a 40-80 at Commerce that was unreal, almost surrealistic. Jim Rivett was sweating me and he was as astounded as I was. It played about as loose as our high school games where we used to get $20 worth of chips for fifty cents.

I was actually lucky in my hand in that I check-called the river. The turn brought a second spade and the river a third. I figured the guy for a draw so I check-called. Had the river been a non-spade ten I bet into him and call him down.

[Softrock]

OKAY I'll play to. This one was awhile ago but...

Me: JJ

Him: 55

Flop: J93 - and he pushed the betting on the flop and the turn.

[Softrock]

there is no poker god.

Hey - of course there's a poker God. He just has a sick sense of humor!!

[Pot-A]

That's nuthin'. I've got the nuts (this actually happened almost on the bubble in a $640 buy-in PP tourney):

Me: AA
Him: A2

Flop: A2J

Can't be any worse than that.

[chezlaw]

I've told this bad beat story before and no doubt will again /images/graemlins/smile.gif


Paradise 10/20. I'm playing my favorite maniac, we have played ~1000 hands together and he has played every one and raised pre-flop 45% of the time. He plays real bad post flop as well.

He is currently losing $500 bucks as fast as he can. I grabbed $70 which was nice but it could have been so much more...

... and I dont mind bad beats, this is the guy who beat my flopped set of aces with 32, turning a 4 and rivering a 5. Just now he beat QQ with K3o that missed everything except a river K. I don't mind honest but this ...


maniac is on the button and I have AA in the SB

UTG folds, CO folds, button folds

Now played 1300 hands with this guy and its the only pre-flop fold.

DAMN--- Bitch about being rivered -- bitch that some guy called with crap and the flop gave him two pair --- bitch that a person calls you down with bottom pair when the board shows he should lay it down to a bet----
THERE ARE NO BAD BEATS IN POKER ---- YOU NEED THE CALLERS TO MAKE MONEY---- YOU LOOSE NOW AND THEN -------- SO WHAT

[BottlesOf]

This is why you HAVE to raise the turn with vulnearble holdings.

Wow.

Impressive sir.

No, this was a live hand. Only time I ever rivered a bigger set.

[mks]

how much action is KT really going to give you on that board, assuming you raised preflop? after the third/fourth bet goes in it should be obvious his hand isn't that strong.

[Michael Davis]

Yeah, I'm surprised his opponent didn't check-fold the flop.

Earlier today. One of the worst beats I've ever had, AND I WON!!!

Preflop:Hero in MP2 with Q /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
2 limpers, Hero raises, sb calls, limpers call

Flop: Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif10 /images/graemlins/club.gif10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
checked to Hero, Hero bets, sb raises, others fold, Hero 3bets, sb caps, Hero calls
Turn:6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Sb times out(at this point I'm thinking it was intentional, but that was before he cards were shown) and is all in
River:2 /images/graemlins/club.gif

Sb flips over 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif and loses to Hero's bigger boat.
Seriously man, buy a freaking working computer(no way he intentionally timed out once he hit the boat on the turn). Only to me /images/graemlins/tongue.gif.
Oh yea and one time in a tournament(of course on the bubble) I flopped aces full of jacks and lose to runner runner straight flush.
I'm a whiner /images/graemlins/tongue.gif
Where is the "online, don't let him freaking time-out" god?

[joker122]

I'm assuming you raised pf? If I were your opponent I think I'd be able to control the bleeding on this hand. Obviously I wouldn't fold anywhere, but I wouldn't lose my shirt doing so.

[mks]

I agree. However, more sophisticated small-stakes posters like "Michael Davis" may take issue with this.

[bernie]

This oughtta really turn you on...

Not as glamourous as quads beaten, but what the hell. Since the can of worms is open

Mucks 10-20

1 limper, i pop it with KJs knowing there will be others coming in. 2 callers, drunk semi maniac in the blind calls.

[andyfox]

Some obnoxious, racist woman, who I may have mentioned a time or two here before, bets her pocket aces into a board of Q-8-3 rainbow. A lovely man who happens to play haplessly calls. By the river the board is Q-8-3-7-J and his J-7 is good. The rest of us were tempted to give him a standing ovation.

[nykenny]

dear snake,

the right way to play this hand is:

flop: you check, he check.

turn: you check, he check.

river: (K of course), you bet, he raises and you call.

slowplaying rocks!

Kenny

[andyfox]

Unfortunately, it went many bets on the turn and then the guy bet into Snakehead when the 3rd king hit the board on the river. Snake considered folding.

[Deorum]

Okie dokie, I'll jump in with two beats which happened to me
within an hour last week in a 9-18 game, the second of which
I can safely say is my worst beat ever, as far as odds go.
First one goes like this: I raise UTG with QQ, MP calls,
button three bets, both blinds call, I cap, all call. Flop
comes Q82 rainbow. Blinds check, I bet, MP raises, button
calls, small blind mucks, big blind calls, I three bet, MP
caps, button mucks, MP calls, BB calls. Turn is an offsuit
9. BB checks, I bet, MP raises, BB calls, I three bet, MP
calls, BB calls. River is a 7. BB bets, I raise, MP calls,
BB calls. I flip up my set, MP nods and shows his pocket
8s. BB stares at the board, looks back at his cards, and
proudly turns over his 56.

Anyway, this hand came up about 20 minutes later. I am in
the big blind. Everybody posts blinds, including the button
time charge. The dealer shuffles the cards, and gets ready
to deal. The guy on the button then tells the dealer to
hold up because he wants to move to the open seat. He
does not want to wait one hand until the button passes so
that he can move for free, he wants to move now and post.
He gets up and moves, and the button shifts so that I am in
the small blind. The guy in the big blind then flops a
royal flush for a $500 jackpot + the pot.
