If you played Party Blackjack you wouldn't have these kinds of beats.

I know it wasn't total junk, kid was just being a luckbox at the table and I was venting. I had a couple other truly bad beats earlier in some SNG's I played that are more qualified to be posted than this particular hand, but this is just the most recent one that made me cringe.

Just sucks when you try to play tightly with only optimal hands, and unlucky crap like this happens.
