This is not a bad beat but a whine.

I just came second in a SnG that lasted 79 mins and the blinds were 150/300 the last hand. Basically the guy who ended 3rd took his full time for every decision and the winner started taking his fair share of time for every decision somewhere in level 4. Since it was my last set for the day I had to play this one for 37 minutes after the other seven were done. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I am on of the unluckiest poker players. For the past 6 months I've been running so incredibly bad, it is just impossible for me to win. My roomate watches and laughs at my misfortune on a daily basis, the beats just boggle my mind.

I despise the players that are running well and have been running well for a long time, they then come on to the boards telling the people who are having a tough time with luck that they need to look at their play. Some players do but others don't. Whoever is winning be very grateful, hope it lasts for a long time, and stop telling the people who have been taking running really bad that they suck and need to learn how to play.

From a HU match against the forum champ Lacky (PLHE):

Hero: KK
blinds 10/20
Lacky has the button and pots, hero re-pots and lacky calls.

Pot size (360)
Flop: K-8-6r

Hero bets 220 Lacky calls.
Pot size: (800)

Turn: Qo

Check, Check.

River: J

Hero bets 400 Lacky pushes and hero makes a crying call with top set.

Lacky shows A-10 4tw. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

EDIT: 96.8% fav on the flop.
