What Is The Worst Beat You Could Take?

[silicon 0]

I was playing and had A5h in the BB. Checked to me. Flop had 1 heart. Guy bets big. I fold. I was thinking that if I assign half an out to my backdoor flush draw then if I had gotten all the money in the middle and made the nut flush that would have been the worst beat possible.Then I started thinking that wasn't true. There must be worse beats. Then I got lazy.Anyone.

Plenty of threads like this.

I knew this chick that would disagree with you there - but that's a story for grown ups.

Yes, but you said what is the worst beat you could take, implying what is the worst beat I could take.Also, does this story involve you?

Winner, chicken dinner. Yeah he had 2 outs on the turn, but losing with quads on a single-paired board is pretty gut-wrenching (losing with quads over quads would be pretty awful too, I imagine).

I once flopped KKKJJ with KJ in my hand.Villain put me all in and proceeded to hit a runner runner SF.

worst beat possible is needing running perfect to win.. 959-1 i think.. or .35% on the flopex. TT vs AA, TT2 flop A turn, A riverthis happened to my friend, except he had 99v s AA on a 992 flop and lost a 1600$ 3 way pot at 3/6nl to perry friedman who had AA

The example given was exactly what I was going to say would be the worst, runner-runner straight flush would just be a killer. Worst I've had to take was when I had a set against an underpair and the guy hit quads on the turn and river. That hurt but I think I could take any beat.

The first final table I ever made I got all in on a flop of KK3 with AK vs A5 and he hit perfect perfect for the straight.

I think that the most painful beat possible would be on the bubble at the WSOP with the 2nd biggest stack all in against the biggest stack with AA against another AA preflop, and losing to a flush.

Worst beat I could take?President Hillary Clinton

Board of AA99, all-in on the turn, I have 99, he has AA, river was a 9. That was a pretty bad beat for AA We dealt the hole cards from the green Kem deck and the community cards from the blue Kem deck

I heard this one described to me:Two player to the flop (short stack and chip leader).Flop comes 7h8h9hShort stack pushes, CL calles.short stack has 5h6hCL has Q7 off suit.Turn and river comes ThJh, leaving the short stack with a Jh straight flush (playing the board) and the CL with a Qh straight flush.But, the one someone else described in another thread would be much much worse.I think it was something like a board of6s7s8s8d boardTwo players all-in5s9s for player 18c8h for player 2Both player are happy because that qualifies for a bad beat jackpotRiver: Ts.Player 1 now has a T high straight flush, playing 4 from the board (678T), putting it outside the bad beat jack pot.THAT has got to hurt!

Worst in recent memory.Villain was the entire reason I was at that table. A horrible player who would make these plays all the time.http://www.pokerhand.org/?1060439Ray

For me was: Flop came KKQ, I had KQ, all in till river where the A came. He only had KA.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the worst beat in history.....ever.:Cloutier was playing in a no-limit Hold’em cash game at the famous Bicycle Club with Al Krux, a great player himself, who’s made several final tables at the World Series of Poker.Krux was running bad and, picking up pocket kings, put all his remaining chips - $435 – into the pot. The player to Krux’s left was having a massage and, with his cards held high, the player to his left saw them. It mattered not. Both players mucked their cards.Play got round to Cloutier who, holding pocket 10s and seeing what other players had done, figured he was probably ahead and the most he could lose anyway was $435 so he called.But the dealer hadn’t noticed the call and dropped the deck on the muck. A ruling was made and the dealer reshuffled all the cards, except Cloutier’s and Krux’s, before dealing out the five community cards.The flop came K-10-4 giving both players trips. But the turn card was the case 10 giving Cloutier quads and winning the hand for him.Unlucky for Krux yes. But now for the real part of the story…The guy who had been having a massage announced that he had thrown pocket 10s – as the player to his left had seen. So the only way Cloutier could win that pot was for the dealer to make a mistake that lead to a ruling which meant the other two tens were shuffled back into the pack only to be dealt again as community cards!So next time you suffer a bad beat remember this - Al Krux had it worse than you will ever have! Just have a laugh at his expense, keep control and keep your chips.

I was dealing the World Poker Showdown Royal Caribbean cruise. I was dealing a 2-5NL game and raise to $25 preflop called. Flop is 789 of clubs. Raiser bets $50, caller makes it $150, other guy moves in for $1000, and gets called. Preflop raisers got top set of 9's and the other guys got second set of 8's. Hes drawing to only two out as you know...Turn is a club, river is a club... chop chop.
