ABSOLUTE WORST BAD BEAT ON TOP OF A BAD BEAT?

[phixxx]

WOW! That's all I have to say. I just came back from a MTT that was held in an gym close to where I live. I was at the final table of a field of about 60 (30+3), we were well into the money with 6 players left. The shortstack in the BB had been playing rather tight. Blinds 1000/2000, folded around to the button opened the pot for a modest 4500. The BB smelling a steal moved in for 8.5k total. The button called in about .36 seconds. The button flipped over AA, the BB KJo. The BB got up out of his chair in disgust, grabbing his coat and started to move towards the door when the dealer flopped THREE JACKS! About 15 spectators and everyone at the table started going nuts! The guy put his jacket back on the chair and sat back down, feeling alive. Everyone was chatting when the turn brought an ace. The room fell quiet. Of course, the older gentleman with the jacks still felt very confident, a big smile on his face. The river brought the case.....ace. The entire gym erupted, it was the most unreal beat I have ever witnessed in my life. The man with the jacks had a look on his face that I couldn't duplicate in 1 million years.

Could anyone calculate the math for this? What are the odds of this happening again? I doubt I'll ever see something like this again.

Most of us use a deck with only four aces.

How is that not 4 aces? Two aces in his hand, one on the turn one on the river?

please tell me you're not this dumb

Ahahah, you guys actually caught that? Did I say AJ? I meant KJ [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

the odds are impossible to one.

What really happened? Did the other guy have KJ instead of AJ?

My apologies, I didn't proof read it.

So many aces, I typed A instead of K [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

And no, I'm not 'that dumb', I made a simple spelling error and don't need to be flamed about my keystroke abilities. Thank you.

odds of hitting perfect perfect, I believe it is 989:1. If you play poker regularly, you will see 989:1 outdaws with some frequency.

However, as all the money went in preflop AA is roughly a 7:1 favorite over KJo, so this really isn't a bad beat at all, as the best hand won.

True it's not a bad beat, but losing to higher quads constitutes as a bad beat for me at least :P

I do play poker VERY very frequently, and I have never seen something like this.
