Another Flopped Quads (cash)

Just another flopped four-of-a-kind but this time with two players.

Another Nasty Beat (cash)

BAD BEAT

I felt like I had the best hand against this guy so I called, trying to lessen the blows of a raise and trying to keep the pot from getting too large. My instincts were good because it turns out my opponent had the usual two outer that somehow ends up in his favor.

No Limit Fold 'em (cash)

I'll admit it. I'm proud of this fold. I could have gotten sucked into it and over-valued my set. But I let it go and I'm happy the board didn't pair.

How Long Will This Last? (cash)

BAD BEAT

I had a bad feeling about this hand when this guy called my raise and my bet on the flop. I felt like he might have a set or something and might have turned a boat. So I played cautiously. But I was right after all - he did have a boat. It's just that he got lucky. I'm beginning to hate this fucking game.

Then, when I make the correct play and fold (though I probably have to check the math here), Lady Luck grants me the card I need. It just doesn't make sense. Maybe to get lucky, you just have to play bad sometimes?

Unlucky with Kings (cash)

BAD BEAT

Talk about a losing streak. I've gotten my money in with the best hand on this FTP Rush Poker a few times now and I just can't seem to get a break. At least this one didn't happen on the river.

Sickening Sets Keep Crushing Me (cash)

BAD BEAT

I'm getting sick of this unlucky streak. Actually, I've been sick ever since my largest lost ever. It's been downhill ever since. Every time I hit a big hand, someone ends up getting lucky. Every time I think I finally get lucky, someone gets even luckier. It's really unbelievable.

Here I hit my set and am ready to get as much as I can with a raise on the turn. But what do you know happens? My opponent gets lucky and hits his set. Totally ridiculous and infuriating.

Aces Cracked by a Set (cash)

BAD BEAT

It was the perfect slow-play. I limp, someone raises, then the big blind re-raises all-in to try to isolate. He didn't realize I was slow-playing. I was ready to collect my money when Lady Luck slaps me in the face once again by turning a ten. So once again, the worst hand ends up winning. That's how my luck is right now.

Flopped Four-of-a-Kind (cash)

It's not often you flop four sevens so I figured it's time to actually write an entry where I finally get lucky. Maybe the tide has finally turned?

Sick Limit Losing Streak Again (cash)

BAD BEAT

It's happening again. Over and over and over again. I'm getting sick beats from people who are getting ridiculously lucky. They'll get lucky on the flop, on the turn, or on the river with gut shots, trips, or straights coming out of what seems like nowhere. It's just painful and frustrating. It's like a steep loss and the only reason I keep coming back is for the bonus that hopefully will keep me floating. It's not a huge decent, but the loss is 10% of my bankroll which is a pretty serious decline. I know it won't last forever, but this bad streak can't last forever. There's just no way I can be this unlucky that long.

Here are just a few examples of what I'm talking about.
