Bad Beat Value Per Night (pretty low content)
 

I have to recount this story. Tonight is was playing three tables of .50/1 and one table of 1/2. Well, after about 500 hands I had had a total of $502 in gross bad beats on five total hands. Pot values were $190, $109, $77, $70, and $56. I mean, that is an amazing amount of bad beat value for one night at those limits, right? I'd like to see what other people have done on that front.

What's the worst bad beat total you have had in one night? I define a bad beat as losing the hand when all the money goes in and you are an ~80% favorite.

(BTW, I somehow finished the night up net $380. I've had much bigger days, but this one seems esp. sweet.)

Last night, $100NL, $500 total lost value in bad beats in ~200 hands. I rarely get anything cracked so it was an unusual night.

Hand 1: First hand at table, I call $5 raise with AA, someone raises to $25 behind, initial raiser calls, I push, both call. AA vs JJ vs AKo, board J9729. Reload.

The second hand is so funny it deserves posting. I almost feel sorry for the guy who put $50 on JTo.
