Insult to Injury - Set on River (cash)

BAD BEAT

More senseless beats on FTP. Please don't let this be a losing streak.

Aces Cracked Twice (cash)

BAD BEAT

Just a sampling of some of the hands I've had that get cracked. It's the best hand you can start with, but it doesn't mean anything when Lady Luck has it in for you.


Limit Session Hell (cash)

BAD BEAT

On this session, I took numerous beats where I would have the best hand, only to get bamboozled on the turn or river by two pair or trips. It was one of those sessions that have you baffled. You think it can't continue, but it just happens over and over again and you shake your head wondering how it could be. Well, as everyone knows, it happens. You can't explain the run of bad luck and you just get smashed over and over again. Here's just an example.

One Outer Four-of-a-Kind on the River (cash)

BAD BEAT

It's not the first time I've lost to a one-outer in my life. And it probably won't be my last. But this one was particularly brutal because everything came together just right for me. I was a little afraid of the three diamonds on the turn. But when that boat came for me on the river, I thought I had it made. They say that you'll usually only get called on a big bet when you're beat, and this one takes the cake.

Broke $100 on PS!

GOOD BEAT

This was it, the hand that broke the $100 barrier on PS! On the previous hand, I got lucky with a flush and decided to just play the hand to see if it would lead me to some kind of rush. I got lucky and the result was breaking the barrier.

Lame Two Outer in Limit (cash)

BAD BEAT

I hate these hands like the one below. You have top pair and some guy decides to call you hoping to hit top pair on the turn. He hits his pair on the turn, but at the same time, you hit two pair. You're killin' him. He thinks he's best by raising you and capping all the bets. Only a two-outer full house would allow him to get one over on you. So what do you think happens?

Aces Cracked on River (tourney)

BAD BEAT

Just another sick beat on the river by a big stack. For some reason, I just felt like I was going to get that beat. It's one of those sick feelings you get that you aren't going to win the hand. Sol when it came, I wasn't even really surprised.
