Bad Beat Stories (Poker)

Anyone wanna vent about a bad-beat poker story?

Playing in a home game this past Sat, I had a couple of bad beats put on me in 2 $20 no-limit games. In game 1, I called a guy who went all in with pocket 10s. I called him with Ace-Jack. So we have a coin-flip situation (a pocket pair vs. 2 over cards). Another guy folded a 10, so there was only one 10 left in the deck. On the flop, a jack hits. No straight draw, no flush draws on the flop or turn for either of us. Dude spikes the case 10 on the river. Brutal.

In game 2, a guy pushes all in. I call him with pocket kings. He has me covered by about 3 thousand chips (a close margin), and another guy calls behind me, and he has us both covered, but not by much. Flop comes a nothin... no straight or flush draws. An Ace was folded before the flop, so they have 2 jacks, and 1 ace left to beat me. Turn comes a jack, River comes a jack.

2 Brutal beats in one night! Oh how I love and hate hold 'em all at the same time! Kinda reminds me of horse racing! Anyone else have some venting they'd like to do on this issue?

try playing 50-100 with Chris Moneymaker

you have pocket jacks

flop is Jack two rags, but two are hearts. Raised preflop and capped, flop was capped. Turn brings a heart, we cap it on that street. River brings another heart, he bets and i call with my measly set of jacks. he was trying to make a play at me with 10 four, and it just so ****ing happens the 4 was a heart. SICK!

playin in a $65 buy at Casino in IN....limit 50 players. Down to final table of 10, pay out top 8. I have pocket KK's, i raise 2X BB. One caller. Flop A 4 J all clubs in which my king is. With Kings and one club to the nut flush i raise the pot. She calls. Turn 5 clubs. I go all in with what i think is nut, she calls and has a straight flush 2 3 clubs in her hand.

you only raised 2 times the BB preflop? thats notta bad beat. she as you referred to her as didnt belong in the pot in the first place, that shoulda been raised a little more preflop

I don't play poker much anymore, but I do remember a good game with hot Laurie. After I lost my last article of clothing, I guess you could say it turned into a preflop. Not a bad beat either.
Golly, that hot Laurie could deal the cards!

Hey Playa...check out the UFO sightings at O'Hare. Let me know if you see something.

1200 2400 hundred blinds 200 ant....she was not on any blind called 7500(with maybe 15 total in her stack) with 2 3 suited and then stayed, i usually can go and play 1 2 cash games and win my buy in because of people jus like that. That time it didnt work , horrible call no other way around it. (
