unreal sick to my stomach


Recommended Posts

Today was the worse poker experience ever.Playing Royal Vegas 10 nl, blinds .05/.10Hand 1I get AQI raise 40 cents. Get one caller. The flop comes AK6I bet 1 buck. he calls, the flop is 5. I bet 3 bucks. the river is a 6.I bet 3 bucks again. I was thinking of checking but i had no read on the guy. He calls all in 2.50 shows 10 6. I was sick. He did not even have a flush draw nothing. The same guy 15 minutes later.I get a QQ I raise 50 cents. Same guy calls.The flop comes all different suits. with a Q i have trips. I said to myself this guy will call me no matter what so i go all in 9.50. He calls. He has 74 hearts. There was one heart on the board he gets runner runner hearts. I was sick to my stomach still am. 30 minutes minus 20 bucks. Worse experience ever. The first hand i misplayed, and i know the second hand i really over bet the pot but i knew he would call. Cause of the other scenerio. Ruined my freaking day! Its only 20 bucs but when your bank roll is 150 and it gets hit 20 bucks in 30 minutes makes you sick. Specially like that.

I get so flustered after getting bad beats in tournaments and ring games, that I also feel sick to my stomach or woozy (lightheaded). My only advise is to be thankful you were on the low $ tables when these happened :!:

Yeah, flush chasers are probably the worst kind of bad beats, except maybe runner-runner full house...Don't worry, after this happens 20-30 more times, you'll kind of be numb to it, and able to move on without upsetting your game!

I'm down $200 in 2 weeks due to a recorded unbelievable string of bad beats, but the purpose of this post is to put up my definition of a bad beat, because alot of what I have read on here are just beats, not bad ones. A bad beat to me is a hand where you lose with a strong hand to a guy who calls with a weak hand with low potential, that is, very few outs in the deck to help him, and he outdraws you on the turn or river for a big pot, usually in a cash game or a crucial point in a tournament for you. I wouldn't consider marginal pre-flop calls catching great flops to neccessarily be bad beats, because the flop is everything in hold'em; as long as it is not low unsuited connectors or the like, calling raises. Also this is not counting freerolls, because they don't matter, and players are idiots 90% of the time in them. An example from personal experience of a few very bad beats:1) on button, pre-flop raiser, called with 7,7(I was chasing here, but I was in high gear, had great postition, and didn't know for sure he didn't just have a suited ace, or anything for that matter, this is low limit) and if I had not flopped a set, I would have been gone) flop 7,9s,3s(4d, 10s), capped betting on flop, 3 bets on turn, from raiser and me, and limper, raiser showsdown K,K, like I thought, limper wins with 10,10, chasing, ran down my set for a huge pot2)AA, in BB, re-raised raiser, flop 7s,2c,5h, (8d), (3c), lost $10 to 8,8, chasing on flop 3) AA reraised preflop, Js,7d,8c (5s,4s) bet out all the way ran down by initial raiser's KsQs4)got aces beat by 2, 2 when he filled up on the turn, after calling my bets pre-and flop(6h7d7h)!; probably could have saved 2 bets by not check-raising on the turn, but 2 seemed like the safest card in the deck really, and it should have been.
