    Its all pre flop!!

    Yeah not that bad a beat. Play a few 100k hands and come back to us.

    It's a one dollar fifty game, he's not that far behind even with 46s, he's getting about 20% even against AA, and besides he shoved before you acted, which makes it less of a bad move:pac::pac:.

    Its a 5 card game! If your using 7 cards your doing it wrong....

    LOL, wtf? Was it hold'em or draw poker you were playing? Hold'em is a 7 card game, 2 hole cards, 5 community cards. Add that up.

    You need to make your best 5 cards using 7, it's a 7 card game.

    Did you add up 5 community cards plus 2 hole cards? That's 5+2=?

    Your powers of observation are nearly as good as your ability to convey what a bad beat is...............................this forum has been dead for nearly 6 years.

    He's correct Holdem is a seven card game, as omaha is a 9 card game, I think where you are getting confused is, the hand rankings are determined by the best 5 cards, and that's the same across all poker variants, but the number of cards dealt can range from 5 to 9 cards.

    I thought Hold'em was a 2 card game... :confused:

    A $1.50 SNG? Matthew was probably called down for his dinner so he shoved. :pac:

    I've seen far far FAR worse beats than that.

    Oh, and it's a 5 card game. :)

    the size of the buy in really makes no difference to the Bad Beat.

    The fact is it's a pretty poor bad beat as he was only a 65% favorite to win

    Last 2 tournaments;

    1a. Pocket A pre flop (100/200), raise from small blind to 600, 2 callers, flop comes J 10 5 different suits, check, player 1 raises 2000, player 2 all in, I call, player 1 folds, player 2 calls with KJo, turn comes muck and river comes K.

    1b. AKo pre flop on the button (300/600-25), same 2 players play a raise and call, I go all in and end up in a showdown with 65o and I lose to a pair of 5s

    2. JJ from UTG, (300/600) so I raise to 2400 and get 4 callers, I figure I'm up against a lot of powerful hands (A,K,Q) and maybe a midrange suited connector, I decide that if no higher card than a J comes up and there is no obvious draw I am going to shove because I don't want to give them the chance of connecting on the turn and river, cards come up 2 4 6 different suits and I shove, I get called by the small blind who was last to call pre flop and he setted 2s, how do you call 2,400 with deuces when 4 players are in before you!

    Had a great win on a vending machine today. Chose a pack of Hunky Dorys, which got stuck half way down. Got refunded the €1.10. Wasn't allowed to reorder the same pack, so decided to get a pack of Tayto in the hope that it might knock down the other pack too. It did.:P
