hi

wow that is beyond a bad beat - totally terrible play by him - doesnt matter how short stacked you are allin on 24 is just totally lame

really feel for you - at least I'm guessing as big stack this just dented your stack and you finished well in the end ?

Ouch man, that seriously is one of the sickest play I've heard about, very unlucky.

hi

this isnt statistically a badbeat but man this just hurts - especially when you rule out a hand on the basis of common sense and then get screwed

I have A5 in late position - a couple of callers so I raise (which I tend to) and one player calls others fold

flop comes down 22A

so I think I'm reasonable shape but worried about kicker - figure 2 is unlikely as it was raised preflop

turn comes down A - so now I have the nut full house and I'm not worried so worried about 2- in fact that would be great (but seemed unlikely)

by this time quite alot of money in so I'm guessing strong possibility of a split if we both have an ace

river comes down ??

yep only card that can break me - 2

and yes the idiot called a preflop raise with 72 off in early position and managed to hit quads on the river - not a badbeat but really irritating

just needed a moan

Well that is just stupid mate.


Kinda like one similar I had with A9 suited..

Late in a tourney, I was chip leader and wanted to give people a quick exit, So I raised preflop and put most people at my table in All in. The guy on SB called me.

Flop comes out 9 9 4

And of course I think Im safe now.

I bet the last couple hundreds he had, he calls with 4 7 suited,

Turn is 4

and just to make it clear, river came 4 also.


Its not really a bad beat, but its so annoying when things like that happens, I did only loose a couple 1000's, and I did win that tourney so no biggie really, but at that time I got a little upset I have to admit.

hi

yep its always tough to laydown a big hand - I think easier when theyre all high cards as you start to think the other possibilities are strong chance people wouls play them and get outs -

dangerous but predicable hands to watch for

but with the couple of hands we had - you really find it hard (or I do) to put someone on something so lame and be chasing

on the turn you actually figure its cool if they are as theyre massive underdog and going to pump the pot / pay you off

then they get lucky and man its a real pain

guess the secret is to dust yourself off and keep going - I am definately working at taking down more "safe pots" than getting big hands and playing big

hey club, sorry to hear bout that, was it a freeroll you were in, if so brings me to my pet peeve about freerolls, poeple play like they have nothing to lose, no-buy in no prob, there'll be another freeroll. for those of us who actually like to "play poker", it can be sooooooooo friggin frustrating. we alao stand a good chance to learn something ( or at least have it reinforced ) that any 2 cards preflop can be beat. so as hard as it might be to fold that great hand, it gives us a new hand to look at.

i can just say this, ur very unlucky and he is a bad caller, with much luck

[clubuk2006]

oh well guys thats poker and it happens even though it did make me feel sick lmao ,there will be others im sure but that aint guna get me down im still guna carry on winning haha tc all

The caller on 27 is a bummer, but every poker player wants to be able to in a hand that gets show down, its on my list for sure lol!
But bad beats are part of poker, we have all done them ourselves haha, and we love it lol!
