Ive seen a bunch of bad beats and unfortunately been a part of even more.
The one that really hurts is I picked up AA my second hand and I'm thinking yes, this is going to be a good session. This is a 1/2 NL holdem game. I bought in for $100 and at the time this hand came I was in the small blind. There was one raise of 3xBB from the opener and four callers before the action got to me. I'm thinking this is a pretty loose table and while I probably should have just made a big raise in hopes of luring one player to call, I took the easy way out and pushed all in, ensuring that I would take it down then and there.
At least thats what I figured would happen. It started fine, Fold, Fold, Fold, then... CALL??
The guy flips over 77 and he not only hits a 7 on the flop but hits another on the river for quads. I couldn't believe it. My entire buy in shot in two hands.
