I think the same thing happened to Steve McQueen in 'The Cincinnatti Kid'.

[TRO]

Not sure how that is considered a bad beat, at least not a horrible one.

Edit: Though it does suck when hit a nice boat that doesn't pan out.

Yea', on this one Foz, doesn't really seem that bad. You were 50/50 preflop, on the flop you were obviously ahead, on the turn you were behind to the point where only 3 cards on the river (2 5's and 1 9) I think?

I'm assuming you mean cards that will win you the hand. the final 9, any 8 to pair the board, any 5 to pair the board, and a 7 that isn't a heart, so 2 of the remaining 7s. 9 outs.

Before the flop, the 9's are 38%, QTs is 33%, JTs is 25%.

On the flop the set is still only 50%, JTs 39% and QTs is 10% to win the hand.

The once the straight hits for JTs he's 60% to win it, and the set and the QT are each 20%(QT hving picked up the flush draw)

A long time ago, a friend of mine ran a BBS called YABBS (Yet Another BBS). It came to mind when reading the title. That's it, just sharing.

[Glengoyne]

I dunno if I call it a bad beat. You were ahead, but he had an open ended straight draw, a flush draw, an open ended straight flush draw when he pushed all in. That gives him a lot of cards that win the hand outright if a pair doesn't hit the table.

[Vince]

I believe he pushed all in pre-flop, if I'm reading that correctly...

[primelord]

Why did you call the preflop raise?

[SirFozzie]

Basically, I had a good read on the person involved, or at least I thought I did. He was fond of race situations, 50/50, and would press the advantage over agressively (in my view with two top cards, or a minor pair. I raised initially to try to thin the field, and the amount of time he took indicated that at WORST, I was in a race, and at best I was a clear favorite.

Do you want to be in a race this early in the tournament though? If a player is that bad it seems like there is probably a better place to take your shot.

[SirFozzie]

To be honest, I put him on a 66-88 area pair. Figured I was a huge advantage type

[kcchief19]

Here's a bad-beat question. I'm working on playing more conservatively and in my play last night I only had two hands where I we had an all-in where I came from behind to win. Once was when I had AdKd against QhQs and the flop was Jd 5d 10x and turn was I think 3x. I would bet, he would re-raise, I'd call. After the turn, he went all-in. Based on his betting, I thought he must have had no better than a low pocket pair or maybe a K or J and trash. He went all-in reraise on the turn. I figure I had too many outs not to call -- I had a straight draw, flush draw and an A or K to beat a pocket pair or board pair. River was a Q, so even though he had a nice hand, I didn't consider it that bad a beat.

The one I felt bad about was me with K9 and K5. Flop was a rainbow K53. He only called pre-flop and on the first round of betting on the flop. It wasn't until I reraised the initial flop bet that he reraised me all-in. Since I put him at a lower pair, I called and then cringed when I saw he had two pair. Turn was garbage and I caught a 9 on the river.

I thought that was a pretty bad beat, but maybe I'm too hard on myself.

Ooops, I missed that.


Hell re-reading it, I can't really understand why either of them were doing what they were doing, then.
