single hand bad beats is small potatoes compare to my ****ing shithole graph below



there's like 100 bad beats in there in a ****ing row.

Just had this hand 2 minutes ago. Is Bodog/Bovada rigged??

guy called a pot check/raise 3 way with a gutshot, no pair, on an A high flop. WTF?

Cash game, Flopped a set of kks and went all in over pot on a rainbow k high board, (you know, to be "deceiving") and got called by jj. He hit running jj.

This hand just happened on the final table bubble. I know its a flip. But after the flop and the fase of the tournament I still feel it's a beat

PLO. New player sits down with 200bbs.

I see AAQJds. We wind up getting it all in pre. He shows QQQ7 rainbow.

I lose.

what was the board?
where and what stakes do you play?

I was playing $0.25/$0.50

Raised preflop with AA 2.50
Guy in bb calls we both have $50 in front.

Flop came 55K rainbow

I bet the pot. He moves all in and I call.

He shows J4 offsuit and it comes runner runner 4.

Final table at wsop this summer 7 left the short stack shoves pre with A2, everyone else folds, I call with A10 and another player says he folded pocket deuces. After the turn he can only win if a deuce hits the river and of course river is the 2. One outer at wsop final table. It was a 32k pay jump between 7th & 6th place and that hand made me the short stack & I end up going out in 7th a little while later.

I don't remember other than the flop came 77X, the table went nuts, and it held.

It was a home game years ago in Charleston, WV. We were playing 25/50.

I’d literally quit. How are you not insane?

thanks for the empathy man. makes me feel better that i'm not crazy. i am taking a break until the new year when i hope it's going to be like a walk on the beach at sunrise.

Enjoy holiday time away from the tables. Surely the new year can’t be as bad w/r wise

If you were the other hand you would've won. Moral of the story: Get it in bad and you win.

It seems so standard now a days for these donks to call to hit a draw to go all in.

I was on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and answered the first nine questions correctly. I have $30K in my Bank and am now facing the $50K question. If I answer the question right I will have $50K locked in and am freerolling to the 100K (which would put me only 2 questions away from the $1M question). If I answer the question wrong, I drop to $5K.

I do have one lifeline remaining which is the "50/50" lifeline: they will randomly remove two of the incorrect answers upon request leaving only 2 answers to pick from, one of which is the correct answer.

And I have a final option, which is to decline to answer the $50K question, and simply walk away with the $30K that's already in my bank.

So they hit me with the $50K question, and after I talk through my thought process, I'm able to confidently eliminate two of the four answers as being impossible. Leaving me with only two answers, one of which is the correct answer -- but I have no idea which one it is.

At this point I need to share a key bit of information: I had never intended to be a contestant on this show, auditioned entirely by accident (that is an amusing story for another day) and in fact I had NEVER seen the show on TV before I appeared on it as a contestant. I was aware of it but not a fan or anything and was not really familiar with the flow of the game. The producers called me to be on the show just the night before taping! I spent most of the evening completing the contestant contract paperwork, releases and such, as well as finding/sending them my wardrobe choices (we had to pick 3 changes of clothes and send them pics of the outfits for approval. For example we could not wear anything all-blue, all-black, or anything with words or letters on it). I ended up with less than 5 hours of sleep because I didn't get the final wardrobe approvals until nearly midnight and had to get up by 6am to head to the studio at 7:30am. And once I got there they were actually taping several episodes that day and of course mine was the last episode and didn't actually tape until 5pm. (The entire day we were in a holding room and the first thing they did was confiscate ALL our electronics.)

OK so back to the $50K question. My own process of elimination has eliminated two of the answers and I'm standing there agonizing over which of the two remaining answers it might be, and then I realize that I do have the 50/50 lifeline remaining. I tell the host that this is a perfect opportunity to use it, since I have already eliminated answers X and Y through my own deduction, all that the random 50/50 lifeline has to do is eliminate either one of the OTHER two answers, and I will therefore immediately know which is the correct answer, and lock in $50K!
I'm going to use my 50/50 lifeline, Chris. Yes, that's my final answer.

I confidently turn to see which answers get eliminated by the lifeline and as you already guessed some time ago... it eliminated X and Y -- in other words, the same two answers that I had already stated were not the correct answers.

So now I'm staring at a literal coin flip: get it right and win $50K w/freeroll chance for $100K and shot @ $250K (then $500K, then $1m) if I get the $100K question right. But would be guaranteed $50K. And if i get it wrong, drop to $5K. Which I had mentioned to friends beforehand, I would be happy winning any amount of $5K or greater.

OK at this point we need to cut back to my previous point about never having seen the show. As I was standing there thinking through my decision, **I HAD UTTERLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT THE "WALK AWAY" OPTION**. I promise you, it was not in my consciousness in any way during those moments. I simply forgot it existed. Looking now at other shows I see that if the contestant agonizes for too long, the host will make a reminder "Don't forget, you can always walk away with the $X in in your bank". I guarantee you if he had said that to me I would have said "doh! I forgot about that option! Thanks Chris, run my my 30 stacks and I'm gone!"

Instead, I made the mistake of just saying TOO QUICKLY, "Ok Chris, LET'S-GO-WITH-ANSWER-Z-FINAL-ANSWER!" just a fraction of a second too soon -- because enough time had passed where he was surely about to remind me of the walk away option.

And the moment that Answer Z came out of my lips, I was struck by a clear and horrific thought pointing out exactly why Answer Z also had to be wrong.

Annnnd that's how I took a nice $25K beat. I won $5K instead of $30K, $50K or more. I lie to myself and say well, you said you would be happy with $5K. Well, that's $5K more than you woke up with that day, so don't feel bad. Well, this and well, that.

None of it helps.

[x] brag

[x] beat

Pocket KK in the big blind, btn raises, I 3bet and villain calls...Flop gives me a set of KINGS...long story short, we reraised each other after flop until ALL IN, I rivered QUAD KINGS and see my stack being pushed towards villian...he rivered a STR8 FLUSH...a true statistical anomaly!!! NO bad beat bonus on ACR, wish I would have hit this once in a lifetime beat at a BETONLINE bad beat jackpot table! Would have made it rain money!!!

Craggoo hooked up with what he thought was a hot chick (beer goggles). Turns out it was King Fish's mom. The next morning was very awkward.

Yikes

live 200bb 5/10 AIFP with AA to AKoffsuit. 4 flush board

Happens but he was someone I didn't like (dunno the guy, just his personality/demeanor) which is the bad beat for me.
