Hello everyone,,
You know I had almost the exact same thing happen to me preflop this week with my KK vs. 99 (I covered both suits). I looked it up and 4-5os with 1 covered is in slightly better shape than the 9's were!

I guess the lesson is if you're going to gamble for 200bb preflop you might as well smash the connectors - especially suited!

It is ridiculous though that the covered suit is the one that smashed you lol.

Edit: The guy flopped his set of 9's - no waiting for him. The board was A-9-10-J-7 by the river though and this guy had tanked for a while before calling so it was pretty clear I had lost it was just a matter of how exactly haha.

Hi I've played poker for a couple years now, have seen a number of cool things take place. I'll tell you about the most memorable hand I've played in.

So, I was dealt pocket 6's. A third 6 landed on the flop, along with a 2 and a Queen. A few bets are placed, and then one dude raises by going all-in. I call. There's another guy left in the hand who has his cards covered. I don't see him. I turn up my cards revealing my set of 6's. The guy on my left turns up his cards to reveal a set of 2's and lays them down. I double facepalm myself, realizing I just made a horrible blunder. The turn is the 2 of diamonds. This makes a flush for the guy still in the hand but gives me a full house, and thus I win the hand. My horrible blunder ironically ended up saving me a ton of money. The dude on my left obviously would have called had I not shown my cards, and he would have won with quads.

Interesting, right? What is your most memorable poker hand?

I once had quad aces on the river and lost

Dont you hate it when someone has 5 aces?

At the Venetian 2/5 I was dealt an Ace, then the second Ace I was dealt kind of skipped over the button, nobody saw it',' but the dealer claimed part of it flashed so she took it away and gave me a new card. 2 players before me ended up in for $500 each before the flop both with Queens.

I had something similar at a 2/5 game. Dealt first card on the button and it was an ace. Dealer flips the second card which was an ace. Gives me a K instead. Folds around to me and I raise. SB reraises. I lol fold. He shows KK. Would’ve been AA vs KK with a K as the burn card.

Opening this thread and seeing a poster using a God damn sig is the worst bad beat I've had this year

I was playing blackjack the other day and got a "5 card charlie" and didn't get paid
(tbh my today was 14 and the dealer had 20), but still, what's up with that???

Ha! My BBV n00bness is the balance to your meme greatness.

How dare you

Years ago I was playing 1/2 and got it all in with 88 on a 8d6d6x flop against 97dd and the board ran out the other two sixes and I lost with 8 hi against 9 hi.

So, I was dealt pocket 6's. A third 6 landed on the flop, along with a 2 and a Queen. A few bets are placed, and ike calls with the 2 and 6. The flop reads 7, and after the flop goes down three aces, he calls.

Then the majority of chips are split, the 2 remaining 6s are removed and the last 3 were just split as well. After all of the remaining chips are separated the majority of chips are destroyed and the hand is a draw.

Interesting, right? What is your most lopsided bet? What does this tell us about poker?

i lost the respect of my peers

I had a company where we had an offer from two of the biggest streaming platforms to provide technology services to them but I could only sign the deal with one company cause of non-compete terms. I chose the deal that would be easier for my team to make happen on the tech side and then about 6 weeks later that company blew their next round of funding and laid off 30% of their workforce, including my counterparty, the entire team we were working with, and the corporate development people who we'd done the deal with. 2 years later we were out of business and our lone competitor in the market who'd made a deal with the other company got acquired by them for $110 million. Probably the worst beat anyone on this forum has ever had in terms of $. 9 figure flip lol. Upside is it's pretty much impossible for me to tilt at poker now.

That's not your beat. That's your company's beat. I feel like you owe some people apologies.

I was playing live poker. I had an overpair in a 5 way pot with no blockers on a monotone flop. Someone beat me with a flush

Failed masturbation attempt.

Have JJ, raise pre and go 5 ways
Board QcJcJx Tc Qx
Checks around flop and turn. On river SB leads 3/4 pot 75. 3 ways I'm beat for the bad beat jackpot. If not at least I can make it 575 and he has to call with Qx. I raise he folds

Last night. Had toronto/Detroit o217 last leg of 8 team parlay for 4 btc. 164 points in the first half, 77 in the second. 77. Quite possibly the lowest scoring half of the year. missed by six points.

Ughhh, that is a brutal one. Had to be so frustrating seeing all those shots missed after the super high scoring 1st half.

gii on flop i turn quad aces he goes runner runner straight flush for a deep stack post bubble in a tourney

Post should have read 134 points in first half**
