Default Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...

Bad Play questions are tough to evaluate.

I remember one game where I had been getting no cards, and my brother had basically been knocking the crap out of my stack all night.

On one hand, he mini-raised (which I took as weakness based on his play that evening) and I decided to make a stone cold all-in bluff (with something like 8-4o), which he immediately called and flipped over his pair of kings.

To make a long story short -- I drew 4 to the flush and doubled up.

Now, a hand like this -- "My KK got beat by 8-4 hitting 4 to the flush" could easily make this thread of worst play in a home game. However, under this situation, it was really just a bad read in a loose game (with bragging rights much more important than the minimal stakes we were playing for), and I got incredibly lucky.

So, I really don't think you can say any one hand is that horrible, absent context.
