Default 12/07 Bad Beat

Here is one from the archives. This happened at least a year ago. I've posted about it several times since then. I've told more people. I considered buying a full page ad in the Washington Post to tell more people. I was so pissed off by it that I punched a tiny hole in the wall and cut my hand. I am seriously still mad about it even a year later. I guess its just one of those bad beats that you'll always remember...







Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 max, 5 handed)
saw flop|<font color="red">saw showdown

MP ($249.35)
Button ($97)</font>
SB ($167.35)
<font color="red">Hero ($157.55)</font>
UTG ($118.10)

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, MP calls $2, Button calls $2, SB completes,<font color="red"> Hero raises to $8, MP raises to $14</font>, Button calls $12, SB folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $30, MP raises to $46, Button raises to $97 (All-In), Hero raises to $157.55 (All-In)</font>, MP calls $111.55.

Flop: ($414.10) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: ($414.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($414.10) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players, 2 all-in)


Results in white below:
<font color="white">Hero shows Kd Kc (one pair, kings).
MP shows 8c 4d (one pair, eights).
Button shows 5s 8s (two pair, eights and fives).
Outcome: Button wins $293. Hero wins $121.10.</font>
<font color="red"> </font>

Thats a lot of angst over a hand where you didn't even lose much money.

Huh? I lost a $300 main pot, and even then, who gives a [censored], its still a bad beat.

I've killed people for less than this.

Remind me never to bad beat sponger. Also $300 is a lot of beer. Him and I have different tastes when it comes to beer, but it annoys me that he got [censored] out of about 300 beers here.
