BAD BEAT
I don't get why the big stack always gets so lucky. Maybe there really is some kind of programming issue?

Kings Cracked by Stack Again (tourney)
BAD BEAT
I don't understand why the big stack always has such a big advantage. I couldn't really do anything here by not moving all-in pre-flop, so I just decided to push it in. I was an 88% favorite on the flop. The ten on the turn was only one of two outs the villain had. However, since it was a heart, I still had outs but it didn't come on the river.

Gutshot Straight on Turn (tourney)
BAD BEAT
Here's a hand against a huge stack. When playing against a big stack, he can easily call small bets, so you need to remember to make him pay for a bad call. Rather than making a small raise, I should have pushed my stack in. What I was worried about was playing against the big stack because they always seem to get lucky on PokerStars. My fears were realized when he called my all-in bet on the turn.

Aces on First Hand Cracked (cash)
BAD BEAT
I sat down and got a pair of aces on my first hand. I raised and capped, but of course, there were six players pre-flop on this loose table. I got two players to stay in the pot with KQ, but unfortunately, a pair of threes fl0pped a set. It was a huge pot too, but damn you Lady Luck.

An Odd Beat on River (tourney)
BAD BEAT
It was one of those tourneys played after a horrible losing session. I couldn't help but think that I was going to take a bad beat since I had such foul luck. So even though I was a 60% favorite going into the hand, and an 86% favorite on the turn, Lady Luck had it in for me. It was a cruel river since it gave me a set and I thought I won. Later I realized my set had given my opponents a straight.

Kings Once Again Cracked (cash)
BAD BEAT
I had been on such a long winning streak, I kind of forgot what it meant to take bad beats and have a frustrating, losing session. The feeling immediately came back when my kings were cracked. I was behind the entire way after the flop and I had a sick feeling when I was raised on the turn.

Omaha Burn (tourney)
BAD BEAT
It seems rare to be a big favorite in Omaha since everyone plays with four cards. But in this case, I was a 78% favorite with just one card left. Unfortunately, the board paired on the river and the villain beat me with a boat.
