Bad beats only happen online

PPP-Pit Boss

I was wondering if we could have a little session of "OMG I how lucky am I?!" "So anways I go all in on a steal with J 8 os, he calls flips over A's in the hole.. flop comes J rag rag 8 J yay for me!"
Bad beats happen.. bad beats are someone elses good beat. Ah the moanyness of it all... it would be a lovely change... :eek:

PPP last night. 50/1 cash game. I have about 60 left. I am on the button. UTG makes it 10. UTG + 1 calls. Passed around to me with big slick suited in spades. All-in. Call and Call (both were all in for slightly less than me).

UTG - QQ, UTG +1 - 1010. Not bad I think.

Flop comes 10 high with one spade. Trouble. Runner, runner spades with no pair. Happy days.

Now if that can happen 400 more times it will make up for my bad beats since Christmas.

EPT back in Feb, Down to 3000 near end of first day I decide to shove it in with J9 off suit and get called by QQ ! runner runner straight and 30 minutes later I have 55,000 chips and in the top ten starting day 2 ! Good job it was live as I would have flopped a straight for him to get a runner runner house online

PS. Against the same guy in a sit and go a few days later I cracked his QQ with 33 when I four flushed it!

I don't think I was ever as big a dog as in a recent satelite to the 200+15 LM tourney on stars. I was in the bubble position with only a few BBs left. Folded around to me in the SB with A-To. I cap it preflop with the BB tall stack and put in my last 2 small bets on the flop with Ace High. He turns over Aces. Turn a Ten, River a Ten.

In the Fitzwilliam €20 rebuy tournament, I have A10o and call, 2 other callers and BB checks. Flop 10-6-2 rainbow. Me and the BB are the two big stacks at the table.

Checked to me, I bet, 2 folds, BB goes all-in, I call. He has 66 for middle set. I hit and Ace on the turn and another Ace on the river. In fairness to him he just said "That's poker" as he walked away. I think I bubbled in that tournament.



Online tournament, final 2 tables, I am middling-small stack. I raise all-in from late position to steal blinds. BB calls with AA. I was stealing with 64o and hit a middler straight on the river.
After that double through I am comfortable and then I find JJ in middle position. Standard 3xBB raise, the same BB whose AA I cracked earlier goes all-in for all his chips (I have them just covered). I call.
He has KK and I'm in deep trouble, but I hit a 4-card flush on the river with the Jc in my hand.


I was so embarrassed. I think the guy called me a fish as he left the table.

Strange thing hapenned recently in a $100 heads up game. Several hands in and we are both 'all in' pre-flop.
We both turn over AA and its a split pot.
I was just wondering whats the odds for an occurence like this?. Anyone know of any website that can calculate the odds of scenarios like this.

Hitman Actual

For heads up, I assume that it's a simple case of squaring the odds on one person having Aces i.e. (220/1)^2 = (0.00452)^2 = 48,840/1.

In a full game, I'm not sure if you should take into account the number of people playing... I'm sure this was covered in the 2+2 poker theory forum at some stage.

Playing the 1000 euro game after the WPC I decide to make a move on one guy (who I recognise from LNP). I have my favourite KT and the board comes Axx. He bets, I call. I've already decided I've been such a n00b rock that I can push him off the hand if he checks the turn. The Turn is a Jack, he bets bigger, I call still with the intention of bluffing him on the river. River is a queen, he goes all in, I call with the nuts. Everyone congratulates me (he's by far the chip leader and its hardly hurt him), but Pat Crowe looks closer at the hand history and starts to ask me "what?.. how?". All I could say was "Pat, I'm plastered, dont ask, I dont know how I got there either!".
