Don't think you're gonna get my sympathy.

If that's the worst beat you've taken, you've done very well so far.

Re: Please console me after this loss...
 

Just my worst today, is this a joke?? This guy calls all of my raises with a freaking 8 HIGH Pre-flop, and then with a GUTSHOT straight draw? Did I play it correctly?

Re: Please console me after this loss...
 

There's a lot worse beats all over the place. I see worse beats every time I play. Just had one caller of my pre-flop raise with KK call me all the way to the river HEADS-UP and win with pocket cards of 23o. He hit his 2 on the flop and his 3 on the river. Learn the term "sklansky bucks" and spend them wisely!

QQ with that many people seeing the flop is going to win more than your "fair share," but will still lose a MAJORITY of the time if all hands were to stay to showdown.

By the time that second T hits the turn, you've gotta be thinking that someone stuck around with "top pair" on the flop and is now gonna beat you. Guess that didn't happen, but a T isn't an unlikely holding here. As it turns out, you lost to a straight instead.

For "did I play correctly" posts, go to the "MICRO LIMITS" forum. You'll probably get blasted because bad-beat threads are frowned upon.

IMHO, you played it fine. At what point would you consider playing it differently? You've gotta call that river raise unless you absolutely stone-cold-know you're beaten.

You got value out of this hand -- you saw a player who plays poorly and calls a lot of draws. You should want to play with him and others like him in the future. Play your "A" game and don't play with a vendetta.

Bad beats are part of the game. All hands, even AA have to lose at some point. Accept that or find a new hobby.

worst post ever. #1 - wrong forum. #2 - bad beat. #3 - a bad beat post at a .5/1 game.
