Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
Note: This isn't the worst beat you've taken: It's the worst-played hand you've ever lost to.
I was playing a maniac and a few LPers at my favourite pub. I had been playing tight the entire game (although it was still only the early mid game) and could barely catch anything playable (the usual mix of fair hands from bad position and rotten hands from good position) until I was dealt AA from UTG. I raise 4 x BB, and Maniac re-raises me all-in. Everybody but me mucks, and he turns over A2o. My laughter turns into a disgusted cringe as he hits trip deuces on the river. |

Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
In my home tourney I've been taken out by the same guy 3 out of 4 tourneys. Very first tournament we're down to 8 and Mr. LAG and I share about 1/2 the chips in play with him outchipping me slightly. He's UTG to my BB and raises about 4BB's, folds to me and I look down and see AA. I min re-raise thinking he'll come over the top and he insta-jams. I of course call and he flips over Q4off, oops. He pairs his Q on the flop but rivers the flush with his 4 to knock me out. I threw up on my new poker table. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
This hand didn't happen to me, but it was astounding. This was a low-stakes home NLHE tournament (7 players) last weekend. The buy-in is $5 and players can make 2 rebuys.
I don't remember the exact stack sizes, but we were deep enough that it was not "push-n-pray" time yet. We see a flop with Loose Calling Station Guy and Older Guy involved in the hand. Flop comes AK2 with one diamond (the King). Older Guy goes all-in. Loose guy thinks for a while and calls off most of his stack. Older Guy shows AK for top two pair, Loose Guy shows T3 of diamonds. Wow, a total donk call. Turn is a 4 of diamonds, giving Loose Guy a straight draw and flush draw. He makes both by catching the 5 of diamonds on the river and a REBUY! is made by Older Guy. We were hassling Loose Guy about this hand the next day. His justification was that he put Older Guy on a bluff (Older Guy had been caught bluffing earlier). I have taken a few of my home game buddies to poker rooms but since Loose Guy is my friend, I will never take him with me to a B&M poker room. |

Make this short and sweet. I was delt a QQ, got QKK on the flop. Johhny Blow all in with JJ. I call, came J and river J. Never seen it before or since. Game was clean.

Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
Here's an honourable mention:
I'm dealt TT and raise to 5 x BB. I get FOUR (!) callers. Jxx rainbow shows up on the flop. I bet 2/3 of the pot and get two callers. K comes up on the turn and I end up mucking my hand to heavy action. A 6 of the same suit as the K and the J shows up on the river, and some fishtard who called my raise with T2s takes the pot. |

Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
I dont know if this is the worst play or just my worst beat, but here goes.
I have Q 5 off in the BB. Flop comes 10 5 5. Now my hand doent look so bad after all. I check into the "new guy" at our game. He bets and I re-raise. Turn comes Q. Again I check, he raises and I re-raise. Now the guy is getting pissed off and talking sh*t. I had already put the guy on a 10, but now he is telling me he need another 10 so he can "knock the check raising crap off". To make a long story short (too late) the river is a 10 giving him a higher boat... The bad thing was the guy thought he had actually outplayed me by spiking the 10 on the river. |

Don't get pissed. You WANT him thinking he outplayed you, because now he'll make that same mistake, not figuring out that he'll hit it only a few % of the time.

Re: Worst play you\'ve ever lost to in a home game...
I know I'm breaking the trend, but here's the worst hand I ever played and won.
To preface, I rarely ever suck-out on anyone, because I know not to get my money in when I need a lot of help (unlike the idiots I play with). We're down to three in a 14 man tourney, and there's me, a chump, and a solid player who shows AK more than anyone I've ever seen. I'm BB, chump is shortstacked in SB, and solid player is on Button (he's got me covered by a little). He raises to 3.5BB and I call with 22. Flop comes 457 and since I had put him on AK, I push all in. He calls with JJ. I catch my 2 on the turn and go on to win $150. |
