I have Qs Ts in the BB. This is .25/.50 btw. 3 players after the BB fold. Button raises to $1. SB folds and i call the other .50. Flop is something like Jh 10d 4s. I'm really liking the open ended but im also worried he may already have me. I bet $3 and he puts me all in for another $4 to me. He has Jd Kh.
Turn: Kc (I make my straight)
River: Kc (He makes his boat Full of Kings)
What is the deal with poker? Can I hear some bad beats to console?

this is not a real bad beat dude. I hear where u r coming from though, my lucks a bit thin atm. Keep reading the boards and get better. As lee trevino once said "the more i practice, the luckier i seem to get"
peace.

A couple of things
1) If you hold QT and the flop comes J T 4, you don't have an open-ended straight draw, you have middle pair and a backdoor straight draw.
2) So when the K hits, giving you an open-ended straight draw, your opponent now has top 2 pair.
3) If the river came with an A or a 9, it really would have been you putting the bad beat on him, since he started with a better hand and was ahead the entire hand.
4) I think you're playing No-Limit? This is a Limit forum.
5) As stated by a previous poster, no one is going to care about bad beat stories except in the psychology forum.
6) Yeah, what is the deal with poker anyway?
