We would also like to see you comming to the 'Rivered Again Forum' to post when you suck out with that 1 outer on the river
We promise not to berate you - honest

Please come back to post your beats either here or create a new topic.

[var14gas]

Verys stupid call on my part!!! very very stupid

I hold A T os and I smooth call a small raise pre-flop/ flop comes 3s3c8h
so I thought ah no flush here no straight I have high card so ill bluff plus why would he raise pre-flop with a 3 or 8 right but I bluffed much too big!!! I bet like 10,000 chips this is mid-late MTT blinds are 1K/2K getting close to money!!! the guy re-raises allin like 45,000chips so its quite obvious he hit a set but I call it anyway(must have been distracted to call such a raise) any way we see the cards and he has pocket 88 for a full house, so im done with like 4,000 chips left but the Turn and river reveal A and A for me!!! I felt bad for the guy cause he had the nuts and I made a super long shot runner runner!!!!! finished in 2nd place that day out of 360 or so.

Guess that prolly wont happen again LOL

[Brian Wills]

[truushot]

Okay, played 2 tournaments so far, Lost KK to A rag, and JJ to K8 allin preflop on the first hand of the tournament. While I don't really consider either of these to be really bad, of late I seem to be cursed.

[prov1x]

Truushot, depends he might have had pot odds to call, and you might have had no chips compared to his big stack (if that is the case), if not then he's an idiot that just plays freerolls obviously and try and stay away form them.

[unrecftw]

My bad beat: I hadd K - K on my hand, and the flop came K - Q - Q... One of the other players put me all in and show me the A - A.. The turn come 8, and then the river come A of course..

[unrecftw]

[Natalie777]

[angleskid]

had AA
but important thing is i was playing a tourney and only 15 places paid, and at this point 16 left out at tables
tell me what i should do,,i had almost the average number chips at the stack
i just called
flops came A,K,5
went allin lost for four of a kind K's

[var14gas]

It's probably the hardest thing to do!!! To get a read that the other player has quad K's when you have Trips A's. Virtually impossible, I would have been Allin also.

[Natalie777]

Sounds a lot like my one outer hall of fame induction .... Who was your opponent? We may want to recruit him ROFL j/k

[Brian Wills]

[ivey99]

somethign very unfortuante happened i lost with the best hand i ever got in online poker. i was playing stud i had king king queen to strart kings in whole next card comes a king meanwhil my opentne has 2 clubs the ace and three so we bet and bet on 6th street i catsh 4 of a kind his 6th card was 5 of clubs guess what his whole cards were hidden 24 of clubs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i couldnt beluiev it and that is how i lost with 4 of a kind

[truushot]

AP yesterday.... KK get it all in against QQ and 77. FLop.... Q7x and another 7 on the river. Glad I was the KK not the QQ LOL

[elbandido32]

I had a terrible bad beat yesterday, I was big blind with Q 10 suited and someone raised twice big blind so I called and flop came Q 4 10 all off. I checked to slow play my two pair and this guy goes all in and he had me covered . So I thought it was a great opportunity to double up! He had AK and the jack came on the river of course! AAAAARRRRGGGGHHhhhhhhh! I need to just quit for a while.LOL

[Natalie777]

My luck with 2 pair flops is not that successful either ...... especially from the blind. Ugggggg!!!!! I feel your pain especially with a rainbow flop, not to mention someone always having 2 over cards but not hitting the flop and then willing to lay it all on the line

[elbandido32]

I am glad that it is Monday cuz I have had the worst week of my life for poker. I had yet another bad beat yesterday, I had QJ suited and a small raise was made so I called and so did someone else. Flop came 4 Q J and I raised a bit more and calls by my two opponents then another J on river well that was it and I went all in and both people called. A K and pocket Aces. I was way ahead with only one more ace out there and then came the river and it was that last ace! I feel like giving up online poker for life lol. But since today is Monday and a new week I feel like my luck is about to change!

[jasttodd]

My worst (and there are many)...playing on 25/50c table with $20 stack...my hole cards KK, flop K6K...I'm counting the money, just gonna slow play a bit and get as much as pos. Somebody raises, another goes allin so I follow suit, 1st raiser folds. Turn is A...worst nightmare???? Yep, river is A....Get beat with 4 Ks by 4 As...and site did not even have a bad beat jackpot. Guy very nicely said sorry...

KK s are my demon hand!

[ARose50]

Hi, I just wanted to tell you about the bad beat I had today. I was holding pocket 6's, so I called to see the flop. There was two A's and a 6. Great, I call all in a guy calls me with A and 8. I knew what was coming and sure enough 8 on the river. I am learning that when the flop looks like the sure thing, I better take it a bit slower.

[HOUSECATS]

while we were playing the aug top ten tourny i won a seat in the $1,500,000 on poker stars. went out 3rd hand. had pocket KK in big blind small blind raised $200 i reraise $800 he calls. flop 9 Q J he went all in i'am thinking no A on flop maybe he has A J or AQ so i called. he had pocket JJ turn was 8 river 2 and i lost. had bad day all day.

good luck all

[Natalie777]

OUCH!!!! Housecats

Bad day all day is a common phenomonon

GL this week

[JR]

I had Ad4d, flop comes 2d8d9d, guy in front of me goes all in, I call since I have the nut flush. Guy shows QdKd. He catches the 10d and Jd for a straight flush. I go home crying. - JR

[errazer]

Wow, that musst be the baddest beat possible. with a 1/1980 (0.05%) chance of hitting that runner runner.
Well I guess it happens..

[JR]

Twice in the last two weeks I've seen allins with 99% to 1% odds with the 1% guy hitting runner runner for the win on poker.com freerolls. I'm sure it is coincidence but sometimes it makes you wonder. - JR

[The Dog]

I got burned in a tourney last week with two reverse boats. First one i had 7Q flop 77A, turn A, I'm thinking yes I got him now. I bet 8500 to put him all in and to lock my boat. He called, that was a quick 8500 I'm thinking. We show, he has AX, river was an A. I'm looking a 777AA for me AAA77 for him. I forget what the other had was but the same thing happened to me. I wound up with next to nothing on that hand a wound up going out like 32 where 30 was the cut off. Those darn reverse boats get me everytime.

[harry_lime]

yeah you gotta hate that, those small pocket pairs can really make you or break you........ welcome to the forum 'The Dog', nice first post !

[ARose50]

Well.....I have had it with the big slick. In the last 5 times I have played it they have flopped me a king. I stay in. Once they flopped A and K then another K. Well I thought I had it but in all 5 times it has been pocket A's that have taken me out. I know it was the best hand but it seems like I was being set up. lol I don't think I will play it anymore.

[JR]

That is why they call AK the Anna Kournikova . Looks good but never wins. I had that in the sunday free roll and lost to QQ. - JR

[Know-nuffin]

ROARS like a lion....

well at least like a pussy cat.

Last night, first hand in $250 freeroll, I have pocket AK spades from the button, two fold and two flat call.

I raise 3x the bb (text book style), the blinds fold; the early seats in turn call.

Flop comes out TJQ rainbow

No messin' guys, I raise half my stack to kill the hand but am re-raised all in.

I had to go. I figure one or both have K straight or A straight.

We show and I see one K straight and 8 5 suited. WTF ?

And to cut long story short 8 5 hearts matched the ten from the flop, hit running hearts and took two big straights out.

[Natalie777]

OMG!! Know nuffin ... That sounds like a night mare .

That player evidently hadn't read any text books

Donk play in freerolls is just something ya gotta live with And yes, occasionally they get lucky It is good to know that style of play doesn't pay off in the long run

[JR]

I agree with Nat about the play in free rolls. I've found that almost anytime you go allin early in a large entry free roll that someone always calls. No sense slow playing any powerful starting hand early. Just go all in, cross your fingers and hope the odds hold up. - JR

[Know-nuffin]

Yeah, the first 4/6 hands are a real bar room brawl; most times I usually like to check fold, but on that occasion I was almost duty bound.

There seems to be two styles in the on line play for the first hour, those whom go all in with 7 2 off, and others that slow-play everything.

Perhaps I should keep box of tissues handy for such times.

[Paul O]

not sure if this is bad beat. it's more of a situation of being out played. i was playing in this social poker league which had about 40 players at this one venue. the guy said they have 40 + venues so i've been to more than one to get my revenge on the guy that outplayed me. holding 10/j and called a bet of 200. floped full house. naturally i slow played so when an ace came on the turn i was rubbing my hands together as i was certain someone had hit their ace and low and behold this chap starts betting. flat call from me. river another ace. all in goes the guy. after a long deliberation i folded. to my he showed me hs pocket 7's and his 2 pair. i went to another venue in wycombe to get my revenge and revenge i got beating him twice to finish high in the leage and in the process knocking him down a few places.
if you fancy league poker check them out (Nat removed web address 10/11/06)

[Killerkali]

aa to k8 ... hits runner runner 8 lose biggest tourney of my career...

[harry_lime]

[V3NoM9]

This happend in pokerstars.com (personally, i think its the home of bad beats.) so anyways, i had pocket aces. So i decided to give a small raise in the beginning to let them know that i might have something. Only two people call. Flop, is A, 5, 6. So i hit a set of aces. So i raise a little more. They call. Turn is a 2, and the river is a 4. and some guy had A, 3, and hit runner runner for the straight. I lost 10 bucks on that hand. I got so mad!

[V3NoM9]

Here is another situation. I was in a freeroll with 10,000 people, top 25 or so advance. I was playing in this thing for about 3-4 hours. 50 people left, i am in about 40th place. I have pocket aces. A large stack goes all in, so i do the obvious call. He has 10 9 os. Flop is 7, 8, J. He hits straight on river and knocks me out in 49th place.

[Straydog999]

well heres my bad beat in a 22 dollar NL mini tourney 4 guys left i have 3200 chips and blinds are 250/500 I go all in under the gun with AA and the chip leader with 6300 chips calls me with a flippin 4-9 offsuit and the flop comes a 5-K-4 turn 2 river 9 worst beat i've had yet

[V3NoM9]

ouch. Sorry bout that.

[truushot]

I'm sure the guy shops at DonksRus.

[Natalie777]

yikes that has happened to me one too many times on the bubble Straydog999 .... when I get pocket aces, I should just throw them at that point in a tourney

ROFL!!! Tru, where you been? Kinda miss your humor

[MidnightPoker]

i was crazy, i was playing on poker.com, with like four other people, i had A, 10 suited, and i go all in, the person after my folded, next two people call, one other person had another A, 10 but i wasnt suited, and the other has like 5, 4 of suit (no idea why he called.
well the flop didnt help anyone, turn didnt either, but then the river pops out with a 4!!
I dont know, all the noobs on poker sites ruin it for the real poker players...
i mean i wouldnt have minded spilting that pot haha.

this was my tenth post

[MisterJay2]

Worst ever was at Absolute pocket kk vs a8 vs 22 ring game 50/1.00 nl flop 8 k 2 22 bet 40.00 a8 called I called .......no possible flushes or straights so far turn 4 no biggie....22 bets 160.00 I raised to 400.00 the a8 put his 220.00 in 22 called he was all in......cards flip over im ecstatic great pot ...everythings dynamite until....the 2 on the river so quad 2s nailed my kkk....Yea I remember that one.OUCH...........Peace

[KNOWHEN2]

OK HARRY,

I felt i should put this here as i did suck out on u today in the horse league game; i thought u were bulling me as i was short stack so i went looking for my J.
Sorry i caught the flush on the river and crippled ur stack it was truly a bad beat on u not deserved.

Hey Harry, then House cats goes and does it to me when he hit his strt to my trips, 2 cards under 3 over iam on trips allin and house hits 6th street; poetic justice some would say, me i just call it online poker.

I think everyone in this situation played the correct way, in the first hand there was a chaser and wining hand with the cards showing, and in the second hand there was the same, but both times luck showed both sides of the same coin

Any way sorry m8.

[harry_lime]

[Brian Wills]

Yes I have to agree with Harry. We see a lot of players in with hands that they would never play under a raise in a NoLimit game, I suppose its the nature of limit, & its much worse early on when the bets are low

Once the raise got to around 150 in this game the play did improve a little, but we still had poor starting hands calling raises. I wonder if its a bit of a release for some players....after so much NoLimit play they feel its the green light to play anything in the Horse

All said & done I think Grant knows he made a big mistake here, but overall I have seen a nice improvement in his game lately Maybe not Stud though

[addam00]

Well, I am not gonna say if I would do that kind of play that kw did.... but I am gona say I liked Kw play .. ya you could tell me why i shouldnt do that kind of play..and you can tell me the stats and the odds and the proablity and stuff like that.. well there is one thing that you can not tell me is like a poker instinct.. sometimes you have that hand which you feel real good about and you know something good is gonna happen...no matter how much you put in or raise with.... I kinda know were kw is comming from. well you may disagree with his play but it was his play so in that sense Kw did the play that felt right play for him. so in that sense it was the right play wheather you agree or disagree with his play.. it was his play to play that way...no matter how the odds and stats were.. sometimes you just have that feeling and you have to go witrh it...KW you dont need to explain yourself on a play..Whether someone agrees with my play or not.. Yes MLP has help my play.. but I still dont let it change my game in all. Thats the great thing about poker everyones play and idea about a play is different..

[KNOWHEN2]

[ace0vspades]

It seems I take a bad beat every 5 or 10 mins.  If I told you a story about the last few I would be here all night typing.  I almost always get my chips in with a dominant  hand but lose 85% of the time to a suck out.

[MRNASTY1]

I was dealt A-A and this loud mouth raised $10 so I call. The flop hits A-J-J, he bets another $10 and I call, excited as can be. The turn is a 2 and i`m thrilled! "The Mouth" puts me all in for another $25 or so. And he shows his PP, 2-2 and what do you know, a 2 hits the river, my heart dropped further than you can imagine! The worst thing about it was I could not make another deposit for a whole, long, heart wrenching week

[Miklosik]

eek! That really sucks.  You have my sympathy.  But why did you spend all that time calling?  Do you think if you had raised it both pre and post flop "the Mouth" would have folded?  It's hard to form an opinion without knowing how this guy played previously but regardless, that was an icky hand.

[MRNASTY1]

The reason I didnt go all-in is because if you don`t slow play him he folds. I have beat him probably 7-10 hands by slow playing him. He never changes his style of play. Revenge is in the future though.  

[Know-nuffin]

Aces full I'm calling too.    You're not gonna be beaten too often with that hand.

[Miklosik]

[Know-nuffin]

Sure would if a loud mouth is already raising, I want to see a flop ~ AA may look good until it flops 9-T-J suited, that I'm not on.

I get the impression that loud mouth ain't gonna fold to a re-raise. (Hark at me ... I wasn't even there. )

[Miklosik]

[MRNASTY1]

"THE MOUTH" tries to bully newbies at the cash tables, and 90% of the time they will call pre-flop and he will double the pot after the flop and if they don`t have a killer hand, they fold. I can tell when he has a good hand pre-flop though, he usually only calls the BB, so if I have something I know which way to bet  

[Ramster]

[Miklosik]

[PoolDemon]

now here's a genious if I ever saw one, live tourny, down to about 18 players, the BB is 600, all fold to the SB, who is a real donk, I watched him playing raised pots with absolute rubbish, he raises 1K over the BB, I check him out, I'm very good at reading people in live tournies, I ask him how much he has back, which was another 4.4K, I have just over 6, I'm positive he has nothing, I only have ace 8, I know I'm way ahead, so I say all in, he insta calls, well I figure ok, I screwed up my read on him, until he flips over 10-4 off suit, I hit my ace on the flop, along with his 10, river brings him another 10, unfecking real...

He just laughs & says, see you never should have tried raising me, all my good hands always win. I say, nice catch donk, keep it up you won't be here long playnig that garbage, he follows that with, I'll use your chips to get to the final table & win tonite...

So I taught the arrongant young fecker a thing or two, I ended up winning last night, he never made the final table...playing stupid & sucking out will catch up with you, no matter how lucky you are.

but gonig back to his hand, is there anyone here, even if that raise was a bluff, that would have called a re-raise back at you to put you all in ?   he still had over 4 K left if he folded, I know if I bluffed in that spot, it's an inst fold as more than enough chips left in my mind to still get to the FT etc...

[Know-nuffin]

...

... 10-4 off ~ yeah right  

Congrats on the win.

[Mrs know-nuffin]

Ouch!!!! Thats gotta hurt.

[PoolDemon]

this is why I will very rarely now ever play a freeroll :

UTG raises to 100
all fold to me, with JJ, I re-raise to all in as I don't want a caller.
SB calls all in.
UTG thinks for awhile & calls.
SB shows 7, 2 off suit
UTG shows ace 10 off suit
flop 7, 10, 4 rainbow
turn king
river 2

that was lesson 1 in how to reward a total F!@#$%&*G idiot.

now if I only re-raised & he pushed, total bluff, good for him, BUT HE CALLED ALL IN, with only 10 chips in the pot, total FN BS.

[Miklosik]

Must be something about JJ.  I played the 1K yesterday, sat out the first hour to thin out the maniacs, got to be 45 left when I had JJ on the button.  BB calls my allin and has me outchipped 2:1, turns over Q2 so it's only a half race.  Damn if the flop didn't come 2Q2.

[muratore]

[PoolDemon]

sure you or i would like to be called with that, but the real point is that they don't play poker, & I'd rather lose with my AA vs JJ etc...a real hand, not crappolla...

[alby_00]

alot of these freeroll idiots will take any all in just trying to double up early..they don't have a clue about odds or how to play poker they just know "any 2 cards can win" and if they lose they think oh well bad luck and move on to another game..I hate the freeroll idiots..thats why i don't play many freerolls anymore

[diamondbaby]

This happens all the time I get beat out on occasion due to the killer river, and someone has low cards and they call you and come out smelling like a rose!!!!!

[pitterte]

yesterday two times eliminated the river in two very important parties
incredible that the adversary 2 outs falls always
i am tilted two weeks
