Foxwoods
 

here\'s a recap of what happened to me on Sunday...I get to Foxwoods and decide to play in the big no-limit game (min. $200 buy-in, but most people usually have 500-1k), so I buy-in for a dime...after about 4-5 hours I was up to about $1,500 when THE HAND happened...i had been getting a good read on people, playing well w/out the cards and steadily increasing my stacks...i\'m two off from the button when the player under the gun raises to $25 and someone else raises to $50...I look down at J-J and raise to $150, the button thinks about it for a minute a decides to call and the other two fold...the button was an ok player but I was nervous when he just called b/c he had been re-raising everyone when he had a medium pair 6\'2-10\'s and shown it after he got people to lay down, so his call made me think A-A or K-K, worst A-K and was trying to trap me...flop comes down J-J-3...flopped quad Jacks..i wait for a minute and check, the button thinks for a few minutes and checks, turn brings an A - which is great for me since I had him on A-A and hope he makes his full house - I lead out and bet the pot - $300, he waits and re-raises all-in for about $1,600 - dream situation, couldn\'t shove my stacks in the middle quick enough as I call - now over $3,100 in the pot...he sees my jacks as does the rest of the table - everyone telling me how well I played that hand and trapped him, but to quote Lee Corso, Not so fast my friends! the dealer raps the table, burns a card and turns up....A!!!that\'s right, he caught running Aces to beat my quad Jacks...I

I\'m down to the finial table of a $5 dollar tournie, winner get $450. 3 people left with about the same amount... we all out all in on pre flop...well because I have AA! Flop was Ad-Kd-2s 4th street was 2d (I\'m thinking I\'m done that split second) River comes to another 2!!! He calls my close to half mill with pocket 2\'s!!! Would have lost the tournie and all....2\'s! Won $175

Playing in the PPMillion down to the final 4 tables. 28 players move on to the cruise. I could have almost blinded my way to the prize. But, I look down and see the ladies in the pocket. I figure I\'ll play em conservative and be willing to throw them away. One player raises, and I flat call. Flop comes 2, 7, Q, rainbow. He comes out betting, and I raise him. He calls. Turn is the 2nd 7 giving me the nut boat. Since I was observing his play and had him on an overpair. He bets strong on the turn and I shove all in. He paused for a minute, and I prayed he\'d fold. River is an Ace. I knew it was my kiss of death card when it showed up because it obviously gave him his aces full. Not the worst on this page, but it kept me from the WPT cruise trip, so I see it as about a $7500. bad beat. Bad enough by my books.

Three great ones. In fact, I don\'t think the first one can be topped. 1) I\'m in the big blind and I have 55, guy limps in on button and I check. Flop is 55x so I\'ve got quads and I check, guy bets and I raise, he goes all in and I call immediately. Cards are flipped up and he has KK...turn K, river K. By the way, the very next hand he cracked my Aces with quad 6\'s. It was a great day. 2) While the above is bad, this one probably hurt the most because it was a WSOP qualifier. About 15 of us left in the tourney and I\'m in third. Chip leader limps in and I have a 24s in the big blind and I check. Flop is A35 rainbow so I flopped the nut straight. I check, he leads out and I call. Turn is a 4, not the card I wanted to see but I\'m still in good shape. I lead out, he raises, I reraise all in and he calls. Cards come up he has A4, river 4. 3)Pick up AA and raise and get two callers. Flop is A3K rainbow and I check, guy leads out, other guy folds and I call. Turn comes K and the guy leads out and I raise, he raises all in and I call with Aces full. He shows KT off. River K.

no need to make up bull because i honestly forgot the suits, but it didn\'t matter in this particular hand. i was playing 10-20 for the first time . . i usually play 5-10 and was doing pretty well. this hand came up. i had 88 and raised. one caller. i flop a set that also included a Q and another rag (which i forgot but is irrelevant). he bets after the flop and i raise and he calls). i put him on AQ. the turn comes a Q. This is wonderful if i were correct about his AQ, giving him trip Q\'s and completing my 8\'s full. on the turn betting is capped. the only card i did not want to see were an A or a K (he mite have had KQ). river A, so i am thinking OMG i swear he has AQ so he bets and i only call. i had him preflop, after the flop, after the turn, and he rivers me a better house as i lose almost a $400 pot . . . i felt like phil ivey when moneymaker rivered his Q\'s full of aces against ivey\'s 9\'s full in 2003 WSOP (only to 100000x\'s lesser degree) . . . and i smartly move back down to 5-10 after losing 1/2 my bankroll. of course this has probably happened to many people, but this was not a great way to start in my first day i felt i would venture into 10-20. the only plus i got was that the player said he would put in his player notes that i was a good player for not reraising on the river by reading his AQ. WOW. . i would rather win the pot, but thanks, i guess.

Home Game Tournament
 

playing in a tournament me and my opponent are the last two left. Pre flop he raises all in with Ace of Hearts King of Clubs. I figure alright this is going to be a split pot unless spades come out. The flop and turn come he draws 4 clubs to the King High flush, I didn\'t even need to see the river card! now thats pretty crazy

I take bad beats all the time, but the one I like the best was a couple weeks back. I had QQ flop come Q-7-4, turn a K, river a K. Guy who I made it a lot of bets with on all betting rounds turns over KQ. If anyone can figure out the odds of him having the case Q and flopping top pair, only to catch his only out of running Kings. I was amazed...

Was a 10 SNG, i had 97 in SB, flop comes 996, i slow play and check, 4 players, turn comes 4, i bet BB stays in, river comes 2 bet big he goes all in i call, he had 53, he went runner runner straight, i did the math on cardplayer and he was a 1.5% to win the hand after the flop. Those were the only two cards that could win the hand for win and they both had to come.

playing in $100 NL with about $70. dealt 8s 9s, on the big so i play it. flop comes 10s, Js Qs, I almost fall out of my chair. I decide to slow play it so I check. Chip leader with about $500 bets $5. I call, as do 2 others. Turn comes Jh, same deal I check money bags raises $10, one guy drops the other calls so do I. River comes 4h. This time I bet $20, chip leader calls it next guy goes all in $115, I call and Donald Trump calls. We turn them over and I cry as I\'m sure the other guy did too. Seems Bill Gates had AKs and the third guy had pocket jacks. So a royal bet my straight flush that beat 4 jacks. I have since left party and am looking for a new server, as well as a new bedroom wall, don\'t ask just figure it out.

This isnt a bad beat because I won!!...But ill tell it from the poor losers POV. I (poor loser)have kk....one handsome devil raises it double the blinds. Flop comes q-q-8...handsome checks, i check also. Turn brings my K...K\'s full of Q\'s...i am loving it. Even better the herculean one bets this time...I think hes trying to represent the King to score the big pot. I cooly call, hoping he does actualy have the K...or even a Q for that matter. River brings trash and zeus bets hard...i double his bet and he puts me allin, i call right away. As soon as I call he tosses his cards and starts to grab at the chips..I say not so fast, and toss my pocket k\'s on the table. The handsome devil quickly points out that the cards he tossed on the table were QQ...giving him quads off the flop. Wow. That guy was handsome and lucky!!

The worst bad beat of all is the bad beat story itself. From the moment they say, you\'re not going to believe this, you know exactly what happens. 1. They flop a miracle, (often with sub-standard cards for which they somehow have a reason for being in the pot). 2. A flurry of betting occurs during which time it never occurs to them that maybe they\'re not as far ahead in the game as they thought they were. 3. A TRADGEDY happens, a miracle. Well the very worst beat after the flop is 1080 to 1. (Two perfect cards) Most bad beats are small odds (less than 100 to 1). To hear some people talk, you\'d think that the river card is a new thing that was just started yesterday. AND comparing perfect-perfect in one hand among thousands you may play, to the lifetime odds of death from Exposure to smoke, fire and flames, of 1,116 to 1([url]http://www.nsc.org/lrs/statinfo/odds.htm[/url] ), go ahead and beat me with perfect-perfect, take the few measly dollars I\'ve put in the pot. Oh, and grow up, people sucking out on the river is part of the game.

This is a bad beat I put on 2 players. At a no-limit cash game I was short stacked and on tilt so I moved all-in over the top of an early position raise with my A-Q. Then middle position goes all-in and the initial raisers moves all-in as well. A-K vs. K-K vs. A-Q (me). I am toast until the flop brings to Queens and I sheepishly collect my money.

Poker Room
 

NOTE TO SELF: DO NOT CHASE FLUSH DRAW! No Limit Texas Hold \'Em is painfully ironic, and unfair, at times. At a 0.50-1.00 NL table, I was dealt AK Spades. To slow play the hand, I simply called at the table with 7 other players. Action moved to the big blind before the flop was seen, and, with three callers including the SB, BB bets $10. I considered my options, and decided to just call, while everyone else folded. Flop brought 2S, 5S and J of Diamonds. I placed my opponent on a pocket pair or two suited paints, but wanted to see my flush first. I called a $15 bet on fourth (10 Spades, no flush) and had to fold on the river (10 diamonds). He exposed his cards ... pocket 3s. Cruel ...

3 players left. i\'m big blind. get dealt pair of nines. I bet 400 chips the other player goes all in 2500 chips I call. he has pair of 6\'s. flop comes out 9-A-3. the turn a 6, the river a six. it still hurts.

Pacific Poker
 

ARRGGH! Get dealt AA for my hole cards (was in a $1/£2 limit room) I rase pre flop...after continual raising by myself and one other guy there is just three of us left from a start of 8. Flop comes A K J (diff suits) I raise, 1 guy folds the other guy raises...we raise as much as we can in the limit...turn comes, its a 2...i think im safe. Raising happens just as before...the river comes, another 2. Im happy i have a full house, cant see any logical way i can be beaten...again the raising happens just as before...im thinking he has Q 10 and has flopped a str8, but nothing prepared me for his hole cards... 2 2. I would do the same thing again, last thing i ever expected was the guy to cling on and raise and raise with 2 little ducks...but thats poker, and god it can hurt. Lost about $30/$40 all in.

I was playing PERFECT poker, and I was doing really well. A hand comes up with this rich executive and I'm dealt AK suited under the gun. I put in about a pot-sized raise and I'm called by the aforesaid man. The flop comes 8 9 10. I move all-in knowing that he probably has AK like me since that\'s the only hand anyone should ever play. He turns over JQ. What a terrible player, seriously!

Well here\'s 2 for yah: #1)I\'m short stack with AKoffsuit, flop hits my ace (other cards were like 5diamonds 8diamonds) Since im short stacked I go all in, IM UP AGAINST ANOTHER AK OFFSUIT. So I think, ok split pot...He hits 2 more diamonds to give him an ace high flush. #2) Pocket Aces, I raise 3 times the pot preflop, I get a call. I hit an ace on the flop, rainbow. I go all in...The guy calls...he called me with 63 clubs, one club on board, he hits two more to get the flush! This site is full of bad beats....

i get KQ of diamonds and im on the button so i raise to 8 (nl100) big blind calls. flop comes As Kc Qs. i check to see what this other kid wants to do. he bets 6 i call. turn is the Qh and im thinking SLICE CITY. so i come out and bet hoping he has the straight he doubles my raise and i got all in he calls with Js 10s and of course the next card is the Ks to give him a royal flush over my full house.

This is as bad as it will ever get. I was in a freeroll and was dealt 2 black aces.Put in a small raise preflop to weed out a probable catcher. Three were left when flop came. Flop was 2 red aces and a king. My first ever 4 ace hand!!!!The guy goes allin....other guy folds...and I\'m so excited about doubling up.Turnd out he had a 10 and queen of diamonds.....ace and king on the board.....wouldnt you know on the river he caught the jack.....Beat me with a royal flush!!!I hate the computer generated dealer!!!Made to rake us players dry.

I was playin NL omaha a while back and get delt KQ55, KQQ comes on the flop and i move all in a against a guy wiht Q884 the turn comes an 8 and the river an 8

10-20 game at Turning Stone Casino. I\'m 2nd under the gun with Pocket Aces. Guy infront limps in, I raise and everyone folds except limper. Flop 8-5-5. He checks I bet he calls. Turn is a 6, all rainbow at this point. He checks I bet he calls. River is a 7. He checks, I bet, he raises and I reluctantly call more to see what his hand was. Guy flips over K-9o, and went runner runner in a headsup pot to catch the straight. Might be the worst thing I have ever seen.

Party Poker
 

I raise pre-flop with A/7 and get one caller. Flop comes 10/7/3 I bet and get called. Turn comes A (with two clubs out there), so I go all in with my two pair, he calls with A/J. There are 32 unseen cards left in the deck and only a J will win it for him.....river card was a J.

Live tourney
 

tourney starts with 100 in chips and blinds 1-2. I play pretty conservatively so i folded the first bunch of hands. I get 7-7 on the button and raise to 8. the big blind calls for 6 more. flop comes 10-7-10. Big blind goes all in and i OF COURSE call. he has 10-J. turn comes 6, river comes 6. beats my sevens full with tens full. ROUGH.

I have the ultimate bad beat. In a .25/.50 NL cash game. A couple folds then the guy in middle position raises to $2. He gets one cold call behind him and I raise to $10 in 9th position with AA (I always overbet the pot with preflop raises). Both blinds fold but the other two cold call. Flop comes AA9, so I have quads! Both check to me and I check. Turn comes a jack, giving 3 spades on the board, and the first player checked. The next player moves in with $45 (more than the pot) and I cold call. The first player also calls which sets him all in as well. river comes a king of spades. The first player had pocket jacks, full house. Next player had TQs so he got a straight flush on the river! I showed my bullets and signed off.

I have 55 in a late position in a online $1/$2 NL online , $12 pre-flop raise from one guy. 2 of us call. Flop is 45Q. Early position bets $50, origional raiser calls. I re-raise to $120 flop bet\'er folds, pre-flop raiser calls. The turn is a 2, I think well theres absolutly no way hes got A3 or 36 so I chuck another $70 down thinkin its only QQ that will beat me he goes allin I call so theres a $500+ pot. 3 drops in on the river and he turns over AA to make a A-5 str8. Nice, how I wished i\'d held 66 and played like a tw@t. Not sure how the hell he thought he was ahead the way I was bettin.

Firstly...I was a big believer in that a bad beat is not a bad beat just the brians way of telling us that u were unlucky and that there is justification for the loss.....However I have had some ridiculous ones that have cost my bank roll on the named site.......... 1.... 25/50c......Dealt Pocket qq\'s......raise $5...get 2 callers.....flop is J7Q....i raise 10 $....get called by 1 person.... turn is a j..........i check.....he bets....i call the $15...i figure he has either now 2 pairs or trips......against my full house.....river is a jack.....he goes all in - i think about it and then call.......i flip my q\'s over j\'s and he flips j4 offsuit(quad j\'s)........i mean WTF !!!! 2..... Same limits...I limp in with pocket 22\'s.......flop is 223...quad 2\'s - brilliant..... 3 players all raise in front of me, i re-raise all in and get 2 callers......one who had slowplayed aa and someone with 33.....turn is K and River - U guessed it a nice big fat 3!!!!!!!!!!!! I have several others but....It depresses me to think about them....

NL tournament with 7 to go before we are in the money.dealt AA second from the button. i raise big trying to run off straglers,only big blind calls. the flop comes A K 5 giving me trip Aces, but he comes out betting, so i go all in.he calls with AJ unsuited and hardly any outs, but here comes the turn and river a Q and a 10 giving him a straight over my trip Aces.

I\'m in an Omaha Hi/Lo tournament and with pocket 7\'s the flop brings 7/K/7. A guy bets, I raise, he re-raises, we go back and forth with that. I think to myself great, the guys got pocket kings, this is going to be GOOD! The river brings his fourth king and I lose a HUGE pot. Another tourney I flopped a st8 flush though and some guy caught four 3\'s on the turn, so I took a lot of his money that time. Just remember to tell yourself that\'s poker when stuff like that happens.

m in the SB and am delt AcAh already thinking how im guna play it, a guy 3 from the BB bets fairly big and i go all in to see he has AdKc, a hand i wanted to see, flop is 2d 8d 9d turn is another diamond he wins with a high flush

ring game. quarter room with a 5 dollar preflop raise. I figure AA or KK, but am holding ten ten, figure its worth a shot...See the flop...6-6-6 check - check... Turn: 10. Im holding 10s over 6s, which would beat his 6\'s over Aces (which is what I still figure him to be holding). He goes all in, and I ofcourse call. I was right, should have been paid off until the river: the 4th 6, and it came down to high card

Not sure if its so much as a bad beat as a thats Poker story. 1-3 NL game. I\'m on the SB with AA. Everyone starts folding so I\'m afraid of not getting any action. Finally last guy in front of me raises to $10. I raise to $20 to suck a little more out of him. Well, BB goes all in with $65. I figure he must be on KK or QQ. Since I have AA I didn\'t expect the original raiser to call....he did! So I raise to $150 putting the original raiser all in as well. Now I have two players all in against my AA, I figure I\'m going to clean house on a $300+ pot. Now a crowd has gathered and oohhhs and ahhhs go out as I turn over my bullets. BB turns over KK...as expected. Original raiser turns over A 10 diamonds. He hangs his head and the crowd can\'t figure out what he was thinking. Long story short the A 10 hits the flush on the river as KK goes home and I head to the ATM.

I have about 90% of the chips in a heads up game..I put him all in, I have AK, he has 22. The flop comes out 22J. So I lose some chips there, but it\'s okay still. I put him all in again, this time with KK. He flips over his AA. The flop comes out K 2 10. The turn is worthless. The river card is an ace. So I go from virtually having all the chips to 2nd place.
