in a 10/20 nl ring game in dallas...Jon has AK of spades with 3K in front of him and Bill has 5 6 of spades with a little over 5K in front of him. Jon raises to 120 from second position, there is two callers including Bill who is in the big blind.

the flop is 9 10 J of spades. Bill leads out with 400$ bet (about pot sized) and it is folded to Jon who decides to reraise 1K and Bill thinks about it for a little while and reraises all in. of course Jon calls immediatly and Bill is about as close to drawing dead as you can without actually drawing dead. Jon is a 99.9% favorite to win right now. Bill said something like "didnt think you had spades!?!?" which made me wonder why someone would raise 1K without the nuts.

the turn is one of the two cards in the deck he needs the 7 of spades. now Jon is a 98.9% favorite to win.

the river is yes you guessed it, i mean this post wouldnt be here if it werent the only card left in the deck to win him the hand...the 8 of spades.
simply amazing 9 of the 13 spades in the deck were in play!!

Jon left and we never saw him again and Bill ended up giving back most of Jon's money to the rest of us that didnt leave. i have been playing cards (all games) for a long time and still have never seen anything close to that.

hope this post makes people realize that internet probably isnt rigged and that bad beats happen in any game...oh and the names are ficticious.

Am I a complete moron? Explain how this would not be a split pot, as the straight flush is on the board? I really hate when people try to give bad beat stories with out thinking them out first.

lol, you are absolutly correct. 7 to the j str8 flush is a split pot reguardless if the other guys has the low end.

This is absolutely true....this actually happened to me. So one snowy friday evening in Chicago....I leave work to go play some $3/$6 at Trump. I get there and I can't help notice the guy sitting in seat 7. He's about 6'4"...250 - 260, built like a tank....football player for sure. I also can't help but notice he's sittling behind about $700 in white chips...the game hadn't been going that long so I know he bought in for that much (Who the hell does that anyway!). So anyway...as the game goes on...I'm watching this guy....he's laughing and joking...can't stop doing chip tricks even though he sucks at them. I'm thinking to myself...this guy is a total dick. I'm trying to keep this concise so I won't go into detail about how I watched him throwing his money away totally misplaying hands...but the point is...he sucked...horribly...I mean he was doing some of the dumbest things I've ever seen in poker(IE betting a pair facing a raise, a re-raise and a cap).

Now...the hand... I get dealt AJ diamonds in late position (one seat from the button)...Mr.$700 limps in UTG... action folds around to me...I raise of course...the button folds...the SB re-raises and the BB calls and Mr. $700 calls...flop comes 3-J-7 two diamonds....SB opens....BB Calls....700 calls...I raise....everyone calls....Turn card: 6 of clubs....checks around to me...I bet...fold, fold Mr.700 calls...(I put him on a weaker diamond draw)river comes...5 of hearts....Mr. 700 checks again with a smug look in his eye...I bet...he raises..In my head I'm like "holy shit" he's either got pocket 5's or pocket 4's...nevertheless I have to call...dealer says "show em'"...what does this dickhead turn over????? J 4 offsuit.....are you serious!! The whole table is like oh my god....I'm just sitting there pissed trying to keep my composure...an older guy asked him what the hell he was thinking playing that, to which he responds " I was just trying to make a donation"

After I heard that it was over...I went on tilt and lost everything...Now I think of Mr 700 every time I see J 4 offsuit.
