a very bad beat

[idontblufmuch]

i was in a $30,000 dollar tourney and was 3rd in chips and was already in the money.i got pocket pair 10 10 and i made a nice size bet and the chip leader reraied me so i called. flop came 10,7,Q. i made another nice bet and chip leader reraised me ant went all in,so i called. he had pocket pair QQ. turn came 10 wich gave me quad 10s. river came Q, wich gave him quad Qs. what are the odds? i colud not believe it. but i had to tell him nice hand. lol

is not exactly a bad beat for you, because you was losing when no more bet action was allowed. A lucky turn put you ahead just that.
An unlucky river for you, but not a bad beat.

Now that just hurts! Reading your story I felt the anguish!

Quad 10s beat by quad Qs...on the RIVER!!! AHHHHHHH!

Most unfortunate! But that's poker, right?

Better Luck at the tables in 2009!

Wow. Not really a bad beat, but its very tough luck there. Just a brutal way to go catching the 1 outer and then seeing the last Q fall. Not much you can do about it.

tough hand mate think i may have folded the all in call tho, as your were well in the money.good luck in 09

It is not a bad beat because you were dominated preflop and on the flop. A bad beat occurs when you are leading all the way to the river, and the river card gives your opponent the winning hand.
It is just unfortunate the way the hand played out - TBSS is the saying.

I think cov is right, when you are that deep into a tournament whats it hurt to let a hand go for the sake of not commiting all your chips. 3rd highest chip stack and I'm autofolding for a few. haha

Well that's interesting - I never knew that a "Bad Beat" was defined to be a total upheaval that took place at the river card.

Is there a name for the kind of thing described here?

Other than "dammit".

Battling quads are pretty heavy duty.

Would gambling sites with their Bad Beat Jackpots not look sympathetically on this situation?

well unfortunately you must not have been playing from ap because i think you win the bad beat jacpot if you lose like that im not sure if some 1 else could let me know id appreciate it.

The only way this could be called a bad beat is if "idontblufmuch" won the hand. The "villain" had pocket QQ (the nuts) pre-flop. You had the lesser hand with pocket 10s. This is not a bad beat, just bad luck.
