[Worst possible 'bad beat'?]

Jesus loves you all

[Worst possible 'bad beat'?]

Yes I know bad beat stories suck- that wasn't really why I posted- Yes- it's play money- so sue me- Just thought it might be neat to see what combo of bad losses that might come up or you've been beat by- wether it was for play or real- sorry to bother you- have a nice day

[Worst possible 'bad beat'?]

Went through a REAL bad spell for almost 5 straight days last week, and during that time I got beat by some pretty aweful means. I simply could not get hte cards to win for nearly 5 days- My straights got beat, my full houses etc. We've all had time like this I know. I'll give an example here of my worst one during that time- then ask what your worst bad beat mighta been- post it here.During my week from Hades, I though I finally had a hand that was a winner- how wrong I was lol. I had pocket Aces, A A playing NL (Play money). I raised big knowing some would call (Playm oney everyone calls anything lol) and a few dropped out. The flop came: A J:club: J Dream flop.Guy bets big, I raise, he calls- big pot now.Turn: Q I have my full house. Guy bets big, I figure he's either got or is on a flush draw or possibly a straight draw, or trips or something, so I raise. He reraises me all in (the rest of my 120,000 chips- yep, it was a biggie) . The guy had previously raised people all in with mediocre hands, so I figure sure and call.River: Q You guessed it, He had pocket Q's. Sure, it happens, but I'm tellin ya for 5 days steady stuff like this was happening (Though not quite as bad as that)Anyways, I was thinking the other night, and thought up what would be a really bad beat, but I can't rmeember it now- What do you htink The worst Bad Beat would be?

[A-A early in tourney]

wow- lots of replies- thanks guys, good discussion even if you are losing me a bit with the tech talk lol- (I'm poker-speak illiterate almost lol)interesting topic (to me anyways0- will comment more a bit later- watching Boston Vs. N.Y poker tourney now

[A-A early in tourney]

Well, thanks for replying, as I said, i aint very good- The things I would concider is the buy in fee for the tourney (Like on the WPT where it is $10,000 sometimes) & the possibility of losing that & going home broke early after playing only a couple of hands compared to folding hte hand and waiting for flops that aren't that expensive & might have better draws- I guess I'm too conservative? I know the odds are in your favour with A-A, but I do see A-A lose often- I could see playing for half of my chips or even 2/3's, but facing going broke one one hand? Early on? You guys would do it? Btw- I only play for play money- illegal in my state to play online for dough. But wanted to ask about real money tourney situations. I guess I liek to see flops to determine going all in or not_ I guess I probably shouldn't concider tourneys with htis mindset then.Woops- yeah I meant it gave you the straight- sorry. You wouldn't figure that he called all in because he had A-K or even A-Q suited? Again risking everything & going home early? I also didn't mean it gave both of you a flush draw- but meant it gave you a flush draw and a straight- didn't word my question well lol- sorryReason I ask is because I was watching the pro poker tour & of course we all knew what everyone had & one guy (Can't remember who it was) had a straight & got called all in with a possible boat on the board- The all-iner had nothing. The anouncers (Both pros) both commented "WOW, nice laydown, that took guts" when the one with straight folded. 'Guts'? That's what got me thinking about my second question I guess.BigKg- it was a late position all in raiseOh, & the guy had nothing in the first question- he showed his K-2 after the fold

[A-A early in tourney]

Hey folks- I'm new here- not much of a poker player- My question is (Actually it was a question in another forum) is this: You get A-A early in a tourney- Cards haven't been falling for you, it comes around to you & you bet a good bet- the guy next to you raises you all in. Do you take a gamble & face being out of tourney early? You know the guy usally has good hands & won't raise unless he does. Or do you fold & wait for flops that don't put you all in?One other situation- again an all in situation early in tourney:Got dealt 10-J suited- got to see flop for reasonable price- Flop shows A-A-Q mixed suits. Guy next to you checks so you check knowing he's trapped people before. Tunr shows a K giving you both flush draw and straight draw. You raise- Everyone folds but hte guy next to you- the dude goes over the top & raises you all in- Do you Fold or play? You haven't seen enough of the guy next to you to know if He's got cards or workin on a bluff.I'll tell ya what the guy had after you reply.
