so i took a killer beat yesterday in the 3:00

[MADDCHILD]

so this happened in the 3:00 freeroll with like 20 people left...

Basically what happened here was, i had A 8(deadman's hand) in my hand and i got raised 400, so i called,only left with me and the guy who raised still with cards.

The flop came A 8 K, i checked to lure him in and he bet 1k, and i raised him another 500.

The turn came and the board now looked like: A 8 K A -- i was presented with a fullhouse

So i bet 400, and he raises me all in, i call.

He shows A 10, leaving him with only three tens.

with one card to go, i felt almost certain i had it, but no

flop comes up, A 8 K A 10

I am reading this just as I left a ring game where some guy took my trips away fromme by going all in and hitting a gutshot on the river....gladly it was a buck and a half and its always good to be able to make notes on who the fish are in your pond but geez

Well its something that we all know of. Bad beats often make me play more tight and therefore i often win the lost money back again.

Thats a ridiculous beat. I've had many a fair share of beats like that in my lifetime. All you can do is rebound and learn from it. Nice hand, too band you can't dismiss the river in holdem

[claeyssen]

I always feel like i am the king of bad beats

[drkneenie]

if anyone was playing/watching on titan in the NWGWARMUP $200 yesterday (saturday) afternoon/evening at the final table it was bad beat after bad beat. there were sooooo many crazy unbelievable hands. the river was throwing out bad beats left and right. i could hardly believe what i was seeing. i have seen a lot of bad beats but 1 after another after another. in a period of probably 30-40 hands there had to of been at least a dozen of them that were just unreal bad beats. it was crazy. i ended up taking 4th place $20 when my pocket 9's got busted.

this happened to me at noble...
KK for me, raise pre flop, and only 2 played....
flop: 5-K-9, rainbow.... I bet and only 1 player called
turn: 9 ... uh oh... fullhouse for me, wow! bet, the other player went all-in!!!!!! mmmhhhh, pocket 9's only could bet me.. imposssible; I called him, and t
hat poor one had only J-9..... ha ha ha I won the pot!
Or, I did win it if the river didn't be another 9....
So the showdown was a ridiculous
5 K 9 9 9

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
