Party 3/6. I'm dealt 88 in the BB. Four limpers, SB completes and I check.

Flop - 833

I bet and get two callers.

Turn - J

I check, next player checks, LP bets, I checkraise, dude folds, LP calls.

River - 7

I bet, LP raises, I reraise, LP caps.

I show my flopped nuts, LP shows 33 for the flopped...oh wait I didn't flop the nuts he did!

Oh my. Thanks for sharing, this hand qualifies as a bad beat, all right!

As most of you may know, no one here (or anywhere for that matter) wants to hear about bad beats... but I do. So check out my site (in my signature) and unload them on me, you'll feel much better.

Thanks Homer, and ouch.

lol

I'd say this is more of a "really bad luck" situation than a "really bad beat" situation.

That's a tough one. FWIW I think I would have played it exactly the same way.

Check raising a guy with quads is always a good move.

I might have posted it before, but I once check raised a guy that turned quads with a straight draw. Luckily I didn't get there on the river.

For what it's worth, I think you played the hand perfectly.

Am I being too results-oriented in asking why you didn't check-fold the flop?

LOL, maybe just a bit.

If you had come out betting on the turn, you could have easily folded to his raise saving you muchos $$$.

Whenever I'm raised on the turn I automatically think quads.

hi holm
the LP left some bets on the table, but i'm more interested in why you would bet out like that from the BB. just terrible holm.

you have to realize that this flop may very well have hit the BB solidly. now betting into three opponents isn't so bad. it can be good here. but betting into how many, five holm? that is screaming that you 73o has finally come in. you should check-call unless a raising war breaks out, then you can go ballistic.

on the turn, you should have bet out and hoped to get raised by the 3 or two pair.

you played the river perfectly, but how could you not have? these situations always result in perfect play by both opponents.

holm, i want you to begin to consider what effect position has on your opponents read of your holding. you are playing much better lately, but there are some leaks that begin when you don't consider position and read.
