A combined "bad beat" and "hilariously overplayed hands" post. I fully believe that the one thing that kept me from going completely tilt-mad after this hand was the pure absurdity of the play by the two fish.
Live 20/40 game at the Borg. My two opponents in this hand are Uberlag and Uberdonk. Uberlag is the lovely player who three bets from the BB with K /images/graemlins/club.gif9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif, and Uberdonk is the lovely player who will stay in any hand so long as he has at least a backdoor draw at two pair.
I'm in the CO with K /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Uberlag and Uberdonk limp in, I raise, everyone else folds.
Flop comes 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gifT /images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Uberlag bets, Uberdonk calls, I raise, Uberlag 3-bets, Uberdonk calls, I cap.
Turn is 7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Uberlag bets, Uberdonk raises, I 3-bet, Uberlag caps.
River is A /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Uberlag bets, Uberdonk raises, I 3-bet, Uberlag starts to whine and just calls, Uberdonk caps and I call.
Against any other 2 players, I might have just smoothcalled on the river rather than 3-bet, but these 2 guys had a combined poker IQ of about 46. Seriously, though, how the [censored] am I supposed to put somebody on a flush draw, given the way this hand played out?

Uberdonk showed K /images/graemlins/heart.gif8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Let's see. Uberlag flopped a vulnerable 2nd nut straight and didn't let off the gas despite all of the warnings.
Uberdonk called all of the flop raises with a double gutter to two very vulnerable straights (neither of which would give him the nuts) and a backdoor draw at possibly only the 2nd nut flush. He then capped the turn with the ass end of a 1-card straight.
The funniest part was the fact that Uberlag was convinced that he had flopped the nuts. After 15 minutes I finally gave up trying to explain to the guy that it's not possible to flop a nut straight with 3-gapper hole cards.
God bless the poker explosion. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
