Real life bad beat

[xDIRTx3]

ok I'm playing in a live tournament at the casino the blinds are $300 and $600 I only have $1100 left after a previous bad beat(another story) it get folder around to me and I have JJ so Im all in. The small blind folds and the big blind feels he has to call(not that I blame him it only $500 more) with 9 5 off suite the flop comes 9 5 2(ouch) the turn 9(Im down to 2 outs) the river 9!!!
Now how lucky is that! Im still stuing about it lol

hi

damn unlucky - but I would say you made 100% the right play

short stacked your realistically hoping for any pocket pair to steal the blinds with or have a fair chance of winning if called

10 10 or JJ up is a perfectly respectable hand to go all-in with

personally (although other might disagree) I would be happy to play anything 88 or better
maybe even 77 with the expectation of getting called

and also probably if just trying to steal the blinds (and not expecting to get called) ie from tighter / folding players on blinds (not big stacks who can justify a call with anything) I would also go with suited connectors

10 J - JQ - QK - KA

also any suited Ace down to A 10

when your short stacked like that you have to take your best shot before the blinds comit you to the hand regardless - unless of course you are trying to get just into the money and you figure others will break out before you

cheers scrawnybob

hi all
in a month im going to st petersburg in russia- and there i believe will be my first ever live tournament, and off course ill update and tell you all about it.... but in the meanwhile, we will try to make our best possible moves to push others chase the luck.
scrawnybob explained it perfectly.

egonolsen is not playing his regular 1000$ gtd on poker.com today.....
he won 6000$ yesterday, so maybe that is..... a reason

Online bad beats are too much too often!! Tonight on stars in the BB I get JJ and the guy on the button who for the last 10 hands has been going all in every hand goes all in. Of course Im going to call!! Flop hits me good or so I thought JK4 the turn Q and the river K. Of course he flips over KQ!!! Just makes ya want to scream!!!!!
My worst beat was online I got KKKK and was beat by AAAA. Ouch!
