Sometimes it"s fun to read other peoples bad beat stories. It helps us all realise that when it feels like the Poker gods have started using their immense powers against us, that others have been there, bought the T-shirt, won the speedboat and had worse times than we thought were possible! I agree anyone posting a bad beat story should not be looking for sypathy or condolences, but we should expect general merriment and mirth!
;D
So anyway my bad beat story.....10d 10,000k guarantee freezeout tourny, second in chips with 87k+ blinds 1/2k 47 people left already in the money, UTG with 36k raises to 6k I"m next to act look down at AcAd.....I reraise to 30k knowing if he"s got any kind of decent hand he"s going to push......he thinks for ages then types lets gamble....goes allin, I obviously call he turns over AsTs........you"ve guessed the flop KsJs7s............
I eventually went out in 21st spot for a measelt $70
I hope you all have a nice laugh at that one....I know I would if it was someone else who"d posted it!
;D ;D ;D

Bad beat stories are boring.
Everyone enjoys telling them no one wants to hear them.
50p in the jar pls ;D

NO it isn"t!
-
ok here my 50p....and oh yes it is........ ;D

You want bad beat stories? Get yerself off to Vegas during the WSOP... sit in the corridor, at the Rio, between the casino and the WSOP area... there will be a constant stream of people, heading out of the tournament area, on their mobile phones boring the pants off their nearest and dearest with all the gory details of how some clown hit their "1 outer" on the river.
Give it 10 mins... you"ll never want to hear another BBS!
-
I"ve never been to the WSOP and I don"t want to hear any bad beat stories anyway
-
This one"s for Biffa only!! Everyone else should not read because it"s not a bad beat complaint it"s just a little story.
I"m in the DTD live Friday night £75 and it"s bubble time.
I"m sat next to Tikay who I"ve just met for the first time (bloody nice guy, thanks for the coffee ;D)
Tikay"s routing for me because I"ve promised to fix his glasses because he can"t see to fix them without having them on in the first place.
Anyway I"m fairly short stacked and get AJ so push and get called by 10 j so looking good.
Flop comes AA3 so I"m even better. Turn"s a king and river fills his straight with the queen. Just checked it and apparently he was 1.6% after the flop and 9.1% after the turn.
Hope that"s bad enough Biffa and gave you a bit of a laugh. To the others who don"t like bad beat stories tough you shouldn"t be reading this thread ;D
Once again this is not a complaint about anything so please no 50p fines. I didn"t moan because I never do. He put his chips in and that"s his choice because he paid for them. It was more to let Tikay know who he was sat next to and that he had his glasses fixed by Evilpie. It was a pleasure to meet you Tikay and I"ll see you there again next time :)

It"s bad beat "stories" people don"t want to hear, whether you"re complaining or not.

Hey I wasn"t complaining either....
and thanks for that one, enjoyed it immensely!
;D
-
It"s bad beat "stories" people don"t want to hear, whether you"re complaining or not.
And yet you still keep reading them ;D ;D
Hey I can understand that for people who"ve been playing for years it starts to get a little bit boring cos you"ve heard it all before. For people like me who"ve only been playing for 4 months though it"s still a bit new so please tolerate it for just a few more months when I"ll be just as fed up you are ;D ;D
-
I didn"t read it.
-
How do you know it was a bad beat story then?
-
"This one"s for Biffa only!! Everyone else should not read because it"s not a bad beat complaint it"s just a little story."
-
It wasn"t a bad beat story it was a story that happened to contain a bad beat. It wasn"t my fault it"s just how it was.
You did read it though didn"t you??
Go on admit it I won"t tell anyone. No one else is reading this thread anyway so they"ll never know. It"ll be between you, me and Biffa ;)
Seriously though. Like I said before a little tolerance for us newer poker players who"ve not heard them all before would be nice. I"m the first to admit that I don"t like to hear people moaning about bad beats but just talking about them is fine. It"s only when they get dragged out that they get annoying............
a bit like this one is now ;D
-
Please let me tell you this.
Mr Evilpie - I"ll just call him Evil for now - is the most genuine of Gentleman, & wonderful table company.
His exit was almost funny, it was so surreal, dominating his Oppo, who needed perfect perfect to win, & even called it in, &, like magic, hit both perfects. And Evil, who"d grinded & ducked & dived all night, with barely any chips, who"d picked the perfect spot to move, took his exit like a true APAT-er - a handshake, smile, & "gg". I felt so sorry for him, but also, vey proud of the way he handled himself in bitter defeat.
I"d broken my specs, as Evil mentioned, & Evil fixed them for me in a trice. I can"t tell you how lovely it is to bump into APAT-ers in the Cardrooms, be introduced, become pals.
I lost my specs yesterday, after leaving DTD, so Evil"s efforts were short-lived, but then I found them again this morning. But now they"ve broken again, ffs. I really must get my eyes mended.
Evil, it"s a pleasure to know you, & I hope we meet again quite soon.

Since this debate has started, no one has addressed my original suggestion of a place for people from the APAT community to be able to regale our bad beats.
I certainly would not wish to impose our miserable stories and our misery on the jaded APAT"er who wish to avoid hearing/reading them.
That is why I simply request a small nook to proffer and read, mine and others" darkest moments of our poker playing life. Whether to do so for the merriment of others or even to purge them from our minds in order to return to rational decisions at the table.
.....Please Sir......Please
;)
-
More pressing than this- why have I got two ad1 ad icons on my picture bar?
-
1.6%? That"s not a bad beat.
Now I could tell you about a bad beat.... ;D
-
It wasn"t a bad beat story it was a story that happened to contain a bad beat. It wasn"t my fault it"s just how it was.
You did read it though didn"t you??
Go on admit it I won"t tell anyone. No one else is reading this thread anyway so they"ll never know. It"ll be between you, me and Biffa ;)
Ha, no I really didn"t. On a slight digression, are you an optician or just generally good at fixing things?
-
Its a little known fact that when the cast of Grange Hill recorded the single "Just say no" they were talking about bad beat stories not drugs

It was a difficult time for me..I was going through a divorce, I was drinking, I was lonely..I er..I....it.s..I...
So anyway, I was in the cut-off with K-K and shoved with my remaining ten big blinds, I was called by some idiot with K-Q...bloody Apaters love K-Q...he hits a straight of course and then spits in my face. When I get back to my car someone has written Donk in the dirt on my bonnet and I also notice I"ve been walking around with my flies undone the whole day.

It was icey..it was December for Gods sakes. I bent down to offer the tease dog some of my peanuts. The nature of my fall caused the bitches hind legs to get caught in my woolly socks and the resulting struggle...well, I can see how it might have looked to the owner...and it looks to have ruined both of our lives. I understand the woman has completed her counseling now and has started talking again, but can you all see now why bad beat stories are best left untold?

That"s a shaggy dog story if every I"ve heard one.

I lost a chunk with AA last night at DTD. Not really bad beat story, just didn"t get the rub of the green last night as can happen.
I raise it up to £7 (two limpers already in the pot at .5/£1 table) - obviously get 6 callers.
Flop comes KT5 (two hearts).
When it comes round to me I bet £30 (with about £120 behind). A larger stack at the table then re-raises another £65. I"m thinking that I"m either shoving or folding here, and decide that I"m behind and fold.
He shows T5o.
The same player later felted me.
I have kd jd on a kh 5c jh flop. Two other players in the hand.
First player leads out with a £25 bet into a pot of £12. He"s been betting with nothing, and so I come over the top for my stack of £70.
The other player (with a large stack) flat calls, and the original bettor calls.
They have th 7h and js 5d.
Turn is :2c: and the 6h river means the flush beats my two pair. I think I should have maybe flat called on the flop and then pushed on a non-heart turn, but nevermind.
Going back over there tonight, so hopefully I"ll have some more luck.

This could sound very stupid, and I"m thinking your being "sarky"..but want to check in case I"m missing something..!!!
Why is it "obvious your getting 6 callers?!...Are you being Sarky...is DTD a loose cash game...or am i missing something!?

I would say thats what he is trying to say.. :)
-
Yes, sorry. I was being sarky.
Fortunately, the players were the same on Saturday night, and the cards were kinder to me. Managed to show a decent profit over the weekend.
:2d: 4d being the hand that won me the most... :D

One small point to remember -- no matter how great your triumphs or how tragic your beats nearly all of the aproximately 6 billion misfortunes on this earth couldn"t care less ;D ;D ;D ;D
