Bad Beat Thread

I was in a 200NL Hold em tourney of about 50 players. With about 10 left and blinds at 500- 1000 with 2000 antes. I picked up two tens in middle posistion and I raised to four times the big blind(4000). No one had called it front of me and I got two callers after my raise. The flop came 10-7-3 rainbow. I felt my hand was good and I felt that checking would induce a bet and I could slow play my set of tens. The guy to my left led out and bet about half the size of the pot. The player to his left folded and I decided to smooth call after a bit of acting. The next card brought another 3, I was so excited that I have this monster pot in front of me that I am about to rake. The guy led out again with another large raise, which I then raised, tripling it. Then he pushed all in which I called immediatly. He showed pocket king and I showed my 10\'s full. Then the last card you guessed it. A horid King that absolutely crippled my chip stack. His kings full over my tense full.The worst beat of my life.

Playing in a championship tournament with Party League Poker I had made it into the final two tables. The event started with 103 players. I\'m sitting at one of two tables with 15,000 in front of me sitting in the big blind. Blinds are 5,000 and 10,000. I draw Ace, Jack off suit. Looking around I realize that there\'s only 11 players left. I push \"All-In\" thinking this might be the best I\'ll see and if I don\'t pull something out this time around I\'m going out next hand. Three players call my all in for a main pot of 60,000. The flop come down Ace, Queen, King rainbow! Hot damn! I\'m sitting with top pair and a decent kicker. Not to mention the straight draw! The guy next to me goes all in for 30,000 and has one caller. The Fourth player folds. Cards are turned up and I\'m the leader. The guy to my left shows Ace, 10 suited. The girl across the table shows a pocket pair of Jacks. The turn card is another Ace and I\'m sitting high on the hog with a set and the big kicker! I don\'t want the straight anymore cause I\'ve got this in the bag! Hear comes the river! It\'s that damn 10 and the guy to my left wins it all with Aces Full beating my miserable straight and sending me home in 11th!!!! Arrrrggghhhh!!!!!

check this out i dont care what any1 has to say this is the worst beat ever i get delt AA in the hole,im in the big blind i raise 40$ 1 person makes the big call.flop comes out and its Ah As Ks, so ofcousre i check it to the other kid he bets 15 $ i take my time and make the \"Difficult call\" the turn comes and its a 10s i check it again he raises me 25 $ so i immediatley go all in he calls me with none other than Qs Js to make the royal flush and beat my AAAA i dont actually know what the odds of a hand like that are but i bet they are amazing even though i lost i will never forget that experience

The tight table talker raises pre flop so I call with my pair of threes and see the flop K 8 3. He bets big and I guess that he\'s got AK and I just call. Turn is now a 5 and he bets again, I raise, he reraises and I go all in and he calls proudly exclaiming he\'s got the nuts and turns over trip kings...river is my single out 3 and I reply no, I think I have the nuts and the table laughs as his remaining chips scatter the board.

playin a cash game and pick up 2 queens. this absolute madman rearaises me and i call. flop comes A, 10, 4. he goes all in and i have him covered by .75 cents. i call him even wit the A on board. turn comes 9, river, 7. the guy had J 8 and hit RUNNER RUNNER str8 to beat me. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS

I am cashing out at 5:15 and right now its 5:14 so this is my last hand, I get king 7 offsuit and I limp in the flop comes K 7 6, rainbow and I check my friend bets $1 I raise $2 he calls next card is a 4, I bet $1 and he goes all in with top two pair and I imediately call, he is saying how lucky I am because he had two pair kings and sixes and he 2pair kings and sevens. Well, the river card is a six the only card in the deck that could help him instead of doubleing up I go home with nothing.

The last 3 times I have had A A, I have lost: 1) to a J 5 suited (not even the flush beat me. he filled in a straight 8-Q on the river. 2) to K Q offsuit. not even to the straight. four diamonds hit the board and he made a cheesy flush on the river. by the way, i had flopped the set of aces as well. 3) to J J when he made his set on the river.

blinds are 1000/2000, I\'m in BB with QQ, folds around to button, raises 5 thousand on top, LB folds, I push him all in...Calls without blinking. Q9os vs QQ, can\'t remember how it came out, but board ends up being 9,9,8,8,5. Guy then tries to explain to me how he did that yesterday to some guy with KK, almost like that was his plan. You know what REALLY sucks? The guy is going to go home thinking he\'s good...

That AAAA losing to a royal flush is bogus.

I was playing in a tournament and was in 7th position overall with 93 players left. About 350 players participated. I am in the big blind with KK. I do not remember how much the blinds were. 2 players called and the button raises about 3 times the big blind. The button was in 1st chip position overall. I reraise about half my total stack. The other players fold, and the button just calls. The flop comes KQQ. I have a full house. Kings over Queens. I check to try and trap, and the button goes all in. I call all in and the button flips over only A2 offsuit. He is caught bluffing. The turn comes a Q, and the river the 4th Q. I lose the hand with QQQQK to his QQQQA. I am eliminated from the tournament. This guy goes on to win the tournament and it\'s approx $7000 first place prize. I get nothing.

So i call the big blind raise with pocket AAs and I was trying to get cute. Slow play em and nobody raises. The flop comes down As Ah Qs. So im like crappin my pants. I check and so does the small blind. The next card off is a Ts. I hope that he has a flush draw and bet 100 dollars. He calls and the next card is like a deuce or something. I bet like 500 he bets all in. I call and flip over my rockets like im awesome. He sits for a second like hes amazed like he lost. Then throws down his royal flush. That actually happened. No joke.

A couple of my friends went to a casino in Indiana a few months ago. My one buddy was playing 6/12 limit hold \'em and won 2 pots in a row. When this happens a \'Kill Pot\' is created and the limits double so the game became a 10/20 limit game. Anyways for this kill pot hand the guy to his left is raising pre-flop and reraising and another guy is re-raising with Pocket Kings, and there\'s one other guy that\'s calling everything, the flop happens after the betting is capped. The flop is K-3-common card, all different suits (1 heart, keep that in mind). So the guy across the table makes his trips, but the guy next to my buddy keeps betting and raising until it\'s capped. The turn is a heart so there are now 2 hearts on the board and it also makes a 2-pair for the guy that has just been calling all the bets/raises. Betting is capped again after the turn. The river makes a third heart. So the board has 3 hearts (no pairs on board) The guy to the left of my friend bets and the guy with his KKK calls and so does the guy with 2-pair. The guy with his trip Kings shows his hand and next is the guy with 2-pair. So now you are wondering what the guy who was doing all the raising has.... 2/3 of HEARTS!!!!! and makes a bs FLUSH with a runner-runner! The guy with the Kings was so pissed off at him but the guy with his cute 2/3 of hearts had this to say about his hand after the flop, \"I had to stay in, I had a pair of 3\'s!\" Everyone at the table not involved in that hand was cracking up. The pot wound up being over $700.

HAS TO BE THE MOST RIGGED POKER SITE ON THE NET! I repeat: RIGGED. They have shill-player on tables, usually where there are players that have recently made withdrawals. For those of you that don\'t know, Shill players are fake players that are paid by the Poker site to play at tables from the Poker site\'s office where they have the ablility to know everyone\'s cards and control them (flop, turn, river) using the Poker site\'s own software in order to take everyone\'s money. Believe me online Poker is NOT random. Last month I was up $5800. I am a Poker expert by the way. In real life whenever we play with friends (10 player tourneys), I almost always finish 1st or 2nd. So anyways, I did what I never did before: cash-out. And guess what happened, \"shills\" started STEALING my money! At the $3/6 NL, I am delt AQ, flop A Q 10 (no flush draw) I bet $12, someone raises me to $36, I go all-in for almost $300 fearing the potential straight draw but hoping for the boat. The C*CK-SUCKER CALLS with 7 2 offsuit! I was laughing. Turn: 2 River: 2 B.S. Oh and by the way, they are not \"dumb players\". The following hand I get raised preflop with 4 5 suited, limp in and flop 2 3 6 raimbow. He checks, I bet $8 and he folds right away. Folds two over-cards but calls with absolute garbage. At the ten player tourney, I have AK off, get raised preflop, call, flop K 9 9. Now I said I was a Poker expert, and because of the Poker player\'s way of playing, I read he had no 9 for raising preflop. So I go all in, fearing an Ace. He thinks for a moment and calls (no flush draw by the way). He flips over J2 offsuit (one of the WORST hands in Poker). He was next to dead. Turn was a Queen and River was a 10, what non-sense! I had countless bad beats of this sort. Many people said I don\'t know how to play but I do. I was winning until Bowmans laid the \"withdrawal penalty\" on me. Coming to think of it most of those shills were always from Istanbul or Ankara. Funny hun? You have 90% of the players from the U.S., Canada and Europe and yet a country that barely has Internet connection and where the religious AND political laws prohibid gambling have so many. Since my cash-out I also had countless set ups. At the heads-up, my opponent all-in with any pair win automatically. So if he has deuces and I have AJ suited, I can only watch my hand collaps. But when I have KK/QQ/TT, etc and go all in and get called with Ace-rag offsuit, first thing to hit the board is an Ace. I have had it! No more Rigged Poker for me! I play Texas Hold \'em Poker, NOT Rigged Poker.

For those of you wondering why I did not left my name above. Well, I\'m still playing Bowmans sportsbook and they have my CC number. So I rathr stay out of potential trouble.

I am short stack, A9 hearts. I raise, guy puts me all in. He has AA. Flop is 10h, 4h 9d. Giving me a flush draw. Turn is 9c, giving me 3 9s. The only car he can beat me with is the case Ace - a 44 to 1 shot. He hit it, sending me home (screaming).

Im playing a 250 dollar min buy in cash game. Im in a late position in a 10 handed game. I look down to see pocket 5\'s. I got about 140 dollars in front of me. There are 4 calls of the 5 dollar initial raise. I say what the hell all-in. It gets all the way over to the 2nd or 3rd guy who called the initial bet of 5. He calls me with pocket queen\'s. After the pot is collected and the cards are turned i realize the bind im in. The flop brings me 53A. Right before the turn i am informed by two of the previous people in the hand that they folded a queen. So i am just estatic. I begin raking in the chips when he hits an ace on the turn and river to give him the aces full. To make a long story short i murdered everyone at the house and took all the money. I think they said something like \"but thats poker,\" and i said, \"not where i come from.\" Where do i come from you ask? Welli will tell you. Its a place where we kill people for administering bad beats. So if you bloody people is fixing to slip me the bad beat online then ill come through that computer screen, and ill rip out your eyes and skull fu#$ you.

I was playing in a $50+4 shorthanded (5 man) sit and go tournament. Top 2 finishers get paid. Three handed with 3000 chips (7500 in play) the small blind raises 300 of his remaing 1500 into me. I reraise him all in with my pocket 9s. He relunctantly calls with 3s. Flop is A109 rainbow. Sure enough turn 3, river 3. I\'d get mad, but having a 0.1% flop for someone that they hit is pretty amazing. I\'ve never had a royal flush in thousands of hours of playing, which I\'m sure has better odds than that. Sure enough I finished in a solid third place, which paid a hefty zero dollars. Sorry no screenshot. Clicked off real fast and walked away from the computer after that one, lol.

These three happened in succession one night. 1) A rebuy tournament after the break ($9,000+ prize pool) I have pocket aces and raise 900 chips (blinds are 100-200). One person calls. Flop comes down Q-9-7. I bet 600 and am called again. Turn makes a board of Q-9-7-3. I bet 450 and my opponent goes all in (about 5000 chips). I have him covered by only a few hundred. It was a little risky, but I called. I do a little cheer when I see I have him beat, pocket aces to pocket jacks. The river is a jack. Pretty much game over for me. When I go all in a little later with Big Slick and a small stack I get busted by 5-4. 2) $11+1 sit and go Four of us left (three get paid out) and we all have more or less the same amount of chips. I have pocket kings and raise substantially. I get one caller. Flop comes down 6-6-Q. My opponent checks and I follow suit. The turn is a king (bingo) for a board of 6-6-Q-K. My opponent then goes all in. Too late, pal, I think to myself as I call. Sure enough, he has 6-J, and his set of 6s is a huge underdog to my Ks-6s boat. I\'ll give you one guess was the river was. That\'s right, a 6. He had me covered and I was out. 3) $11+1 sit and go Wondering why PokerStars rewards bad play a disproportionate amount of the time, I decide to enter one more sit and go. It\'s early and I\'m doing well, up 2000 chips, and I get pocket kings in big blind (30). One person raises to 60 and another calls. I raise to 200 and first raiser folds while the second guy, genius that he is, goes all in. Pocket kings is probably one of only two hands I\'d go all in with pre-flop, so I call him and see he has pocket 4s. It waited until the river, but sure enough I got poker-starred again as a four comes.

okay this happened to me (i was the winner) there was 2 ppl left and we had like 300 dollars each blinds 3-6 i had AK offsuit and my opponent had KK and we raised each other till we were all in and flop comes 2 3 K and i was like f word but the turn was a 4 and the river was a 5 and i was like OOOOOOOO it was a lot of fun i walked away with like 750 dollars and a funny bad beat story

Lets set the scene, $30+3 buy in for a 30,000 guaranteed tournament, they have them daily on pacific, about 2 hours in and just outside paid positions, about 120 places i think, i get pocket aces, at this point by the way i was about 20th in the tournament sitting on a table with two of the top 10. anyway, pocket aces, a raise of 20k, out of about 100k, two people call, flop AS, AD, 9D.. oh my sweet beating heart i flopped quad aces, check.. whats that the chip leader is betting into me?, i put him on a flush draw seings as i have all of the aces.. but i dont care as i am dominating a flush, i later find out he had 57D - a flush draw indeed not when the turn and river is 6D 8D str8 flush.. i couldnt belive my eyes.. a runner runner backdoor flush draw, he didnt even know what hit him :*( anyway, i went out there without getting a cent for my hard work. happy pokering..

I flop a set and a player bluffs and I push all in. The only thing he can win wiht is a runner, runner 2-3 and make a straight. 274-1 odds and guess what, the 2, and then the 3 come!!! Horrible!

Playing a $200 9 man table sit-n-go. It pays out to 3 people. There where 4 people left. I was dealt AK in big blind. It was just 2 guys in the hand including myself. I did not raise. The flop comes A K 4 The guy goes before me and goes all-in. I JUMP for joy and I follow. He had A 5. Turn comes a 5 River comes a 5 I get knocked out and kocked out of the money... agggggggggggggg

this is the worst loss in history blinds are 100-200 i have 5k second in chips in the tourney.but guess what the chip leader is on my table too.so my hand is 10 10 and i raise it to 500 to the the chip leader has A J of spades.the flop is 10 of spades,Q of spades, and 10 of diamonds. i flopped quads with that i check he comes out with 2k with his flush draw,i raise all in he calls it. we flip the cards over and i was literally leaping with excitement.the turn pops up 3 of spades i laugh at his flush.and then the river is the king of spades and then i was silent for he now had a royal flush.i still havent recovered from that one

Tournament: in position I raise pre-flop with A-K diamonds, get reraised, I call. flop comes: Kh 2d, 6d -- great, top pair and nut flush draw. the guy to act first goes all-in I have him slightly out-chipped and this is one away from the money. I decide to call, this guy has been on-tilt and not making good choices. WE flip. I have him killed, He\'s holding pocket queens -- clubs and spades. He\'s got one out. ONE OUT. if the Queen of diamonds hits, i\'ve made my flush... the turn is 2h, I can taste the money... oooh what\'s this? The queen of hearts on the river!? ick. buh bye. he caught it.

Home cash game, pot was 165$, I had bought in for 15$ with blinds $.25 and $.50, and after about 30 minutes of play ran my stach up to 28$. Then this happened: I was in third position, and look down at 4d4c. I smooth call, and so do 3 others, and the big blind checks. The flop comes down Ah 4h 8d, giving me a set. BB checks, and I bet out $1.50. Everyone folds to the BB, who is a really loose-agressive player. He raises me 1.50$, and immediatly I put him on a flush draw, maybe Jack or Queen high. I don\'t want him to draw to it, so I raise him 5$ more, giving him the wrong pot odds to call (31% to hit, 5$ bet into an $11.50 pot). Being the loose player he is, he calls me in a second (strengthening my thought that he is drawing since he called so fast). The turn is the 8h, giving me 4\'s full of 8\'s, and 3 hearts on board. He checked, and I bet 5$. He raised me all in, which was 13$ more. I had him covered by a quarter, and I called almost immediately, knowing my hand was best. To my surprise, he flips over Ah 3c. Before the river came, one kid said he folded an Ace, and 2 other kids say they folded 8\'s, leaving him one out. The Ace of spades. About 2% to get that card. I'm sure you call all guess what the river was.

pokerroom is plain out know for rivers, I\'m not going to sit here and tell ou all of my bad beats but this site makes the impossible possible

I had lost to the same guy on four big hands & pots (2 all ins). Two were lost holding a full house, one to a higher flush, and one to a higher 2 pair. Three times he done me on the river and once on the turn. So, now i\'m angry, I reload with a wegde of chips and await my revenge. Dealt pocket 22. I check, flop is 228. I go all in. He calls with pocket 88. Turn is a K. You can guess the damn river! A freaking 8!!! I lose everything again to the same guy. I hate poker!

Down to 10 people in a 50 person tournament. Blinds are $1K and $2K. I am on the button. I look at my cards and am pleased to see pocket A\'s. I raise to $10K the small blind calls everyone else folds. Flop comes Ks, 7d, 10d. Small blind checks I go all in for another $6K and he calls. He shows As Kd. I am way ahead. The turn comes a another diamond and I am afraid of him now catching a diamond flush. Sure enough the river puts 4 diamonds on the board. I am upset and angrily toss my aces into the pot. Then a friend of mine, playing at the same table grabs my aces and turns them over in front of me. I was so upset by seeing that he caught the K high flush that I didn\'t even realize I had the A of diamonds and would have won had I not tossed my cards in the pot. I am not a newbie amateur but was definitely off my game right there. I wasn\'t beat by bad luck or cards I was beat by myself. Moral of the story is to keep your cool and pay attention to your cards.

Live game, 20$ buy in, about 60 people. First hand, I get pocket 10\'s. The blinds are 10-20, I am raise to 50$. Someone calls, the button raises to 200$, first hand remind you. The guys before me calls, I call, and the guy after me calls. Flop is 10-7-2. Guy before me checks, I check, next checks, dealer raises 300$. All three of us call. Turn is a 3 (no flush draw). Check to dealer who bets 400$. Everyone calls again! River comes an Ace. Check to dealer who bets 500$. Two of us call. The guy nexts to me has pocket 7\'s (got his trips), the guy who folded had pocket queens, I had my trip 10\'s, and the ass on the dealer button had pocket Aces, getting his trips on the river. Can you believe this? Four pocket pairs, first hand, 3/4 getting their sets. The aces guy came in 6th for the night; I was out about 6 hands later.

$20 multitable tourney... down to last 60, money is 45th i think... dealt QQ, 2 fold before me, i raise 4 times the big blind, to 4k, blinds 500 1000, i have 10 k remaining... small blind reraise to 8 k, all else fold, i call... flop QD 10D 10C... great for me, flopped the fully, and the small blind is quick to raise all in... i call... he shows AK diamonds...royal flush draw, his only out, or at least i think... turn 10S... river 10H!!! i cant believe i would have doubled up but i get suckered out with quad 10s Ace high.... worst beat i ever had in my life
