This is hardly a bad beat. He sucked out on you on the flop, you re-sucked out on the turn, and he re-re-sucked out on the river. Here is a bad beat (taken from recpoker.com, edited):Playing in a tight 30/60 game on party I was dealt QsTs UTG. I call. 2nd position raises quickly, the button calls as do the blinds and I call making it a 5 way pot of $300.The flop comes down As Ad 7c. The blinds check as do I and the preflop raiser bets. Everyone folds and it is back to me. I instantly put him on KK throughJJ and make the call with the intention of delay bluffing the turn.The turn comes Ks, I check and the bettor does what he does best and bets. At this point I am scared because of my original read and KK is a big possibility at this point. However, I decide to go with it hoping he has QQ or JJ and I raise. I get 3 bet, I am now sure that I am 1.beat and 2.he is not folding. I call hoping for the best and much to my delight the river card is the Js.At this point the pot is $720 and I am delighted by the turn of events. Icheck, he bets, i raise, he reraises, I cap, he calls. I just cracked floppedquad aces with my runner runner straight flush for a total pot of $1200.Now THAT is a horrible bad beat. Your's is a general, everyday bad beat. Granted, he hit his one out on the river was a bad beat, but runner, runner is much worse.

Would you like my e-mail address you I can give you all the information you need?P.S.: Is it O.K. to call the BB in a 2/4 game with K-10s in mid/late postion (two off the button) with three limpers?

Lastly, if you can't beat the lower limits, than how are you going to beat better, more skilled players? Don't let you poker ego get in the way of making smart choices.

Here are a few tips all poker players should know:1. You need to know how to manage you money properly so you don't go broke. If you want to make a living at poker, you need to have 300-500 BB as a bankroll. Thus with $1,400, you should be playing 2/4, or if you want to push it, 3/6. Here is the math:1400/4=3501400/6=233.3.2. Grinding it out means a slow a steady climb in limits. One month is not grinding it out. Even if you have been playing for one year, going from 1/2 to 10/20 is bad bankroll management, even more so if you play 10/20 with $1,400. Hell, if you can lose $1,400 in one bad night playing 10/20, then you don't have a deep enough bankroll to substain setbacks.3. While bad beats do occur, they are not the entire reason you are losing money. With a good bankroll, your skill should be able to compensate for the bad beats over time. You shouldn't have lost your bankroll due to bad beats.4. If you fell like you are playing bad, get out of the game you are playing. If you think you can get your money back, you will likely lose more if you are not focused.If you had a proper bankroll and played within the 300-500 BB, this never would of occured.Lastly, listen to Smash.

Want to bet?Reason today's event paid 200 is because their was a 2000 max seating with alternates.I will give you 3-1 on your money, but first, I would like to know what stipulations you have. I will respond tomorrow around 7:00pm EST.Any other takers?I doubt that is really gonna be the payout. They never pay out ten percent anymore. Look at today's tounrey there were 2305 and they only paid 200 spots. That is like 8.7 percent of the field getting paid. I think the payout schedule will be quite a bit different than that. -

While televising the "big game" would not happen, at live at the bike (an online live- 5 minute delayed webcast) they show low limits and high stakes limit hold' em (300-600). Have saw Ted Forrest, Chad Brown and Jerry Buss in these games. They show the hole cards, and wire the players up.

I do not know about him on full tilt, but I played with him in a .25/.50 limit hold 'em on UB a few months ago. Screenname was bill fillmaff, and said he was from Canada.

Always trust your gut instinct. I have foolishly lost hands I should of folded, but made the mistake of playing out the hand, knowing I was beat.

Sorry I forgot to mention you. I hope you can forgive me.

Thank you very much BPV, I will be sending you an e-mail.

I am planning a trip to Palm Springs, and like what is on their website about poker. Yet before I reserve a room, I would like to know if other people have played poker at the Morongo, and how impressed they were.Also, what are the lowest no-limit tables they have, and what the rake is.And if you have played in any of their small tournaments ($10 Buy-in with rebuys and add-on), what is the blind and payout structure.Thanks in advance.

I just switched from playing limit hold em' (.25/.50)to Pot Limit Omaha (same stakes), and I am making a killing. People think that a King high flush is the best hand, and some people have no clue how to play. It seems that I can wait for the nuts and will get paid off.

This question was on recpoker.com a week ago, and I got flamed for my response. The question, for all purposes, would never occur, yet here it is:"It's the first hand of the WSOP Main Event. Before the action gets to you, seven people are all-in. You have pocket aces. Do you fold or call?"While everyone thought that calling was correct because of the pot odds, I thought it was correct to fold because:1. Just because you have the best hand does not mean you are going to win the majority of the time. In this situation, the Aces would hold up around 40% of the time.2. It is the early stages of a tournament, and you are not close to the money. Even if you did win, you would have 80,000 in chips. While this is a ton of chips, it would be very easy to play very fast and loose and lose the chips quickly. 3. An event like the WSOP and WPT is about expoliting advantages you have to gain chips while you are a high % to win. In this situation you have a great hand, and pot-odds, yet you will go broke more than you will win.4. This is not a cash game. If it was, it would be an easy call because if I win, I will profit from the hand. In the WSOP or WPT, you will gain more chips, which leads to getting in the money, yet you will have to last four or five days for that to happen.I would like other people's opinions on this matter, and would love it if Daniel would tell us what he would do in this hypothetial situation.

You played the hand well and was unlucky you ran into a better hand. With less than 10 BB left, you had to push it here. You are the short stack, and this is as good a situation you can hope for with the flop. Even if you were re-raised all-in pre-flop, I would not be able to fold becuase you werethe short stack and did not have enought chips compared to the blinds to fold.

Here is how the hand went down (from poker-babes.com)" Michael still ended up finishing in fifth place when Daniel got extremely lucky. Daniel raised to $80,000 with pocket sevens and Michael reraised all-in to $387,000 with pocket eights. Daniel asked for the dealer to pull the bet in and then he turned to the camera and started to talk. He did a great imitation of the commentators. He said, "See the dilemma Daniel now faces is he knows that in the best case scenario, he is 50/50, so will he make the call?" He did make the call. The flop was 965. If either player made a set, the other would have made a straight. The audience saw John had folded 87, so Daniel had exactly one out to win the hand. The turn was a deuce, but the river was the eight!"
