2 hands in a row. Have pocket 8s and 9s. Make a full house on the turn and flop.
Both times opponents catch up the turn and runner runner with higher full houses and unwired hole cards.

Crazy.

Final two. I'm chip leader have nearly 4 times his stack.

Dealt AQ suited. He raises, i go all in. He turns over J5 suited and hits the 5, nothing else hits. Now we are nearly equal stacks.

Two hands later i get AK suited, he raises, i go all in, he turns over A2 off and hits the two.

**** YOU.. Online poker sucks.
 
I'm not having a shot. If you're down to the heads up stage with 4 times his stack you would've had luck to get there, combined with good play.

I was thinking "JACKPOT" when that diamond hit on the river and when the hand was over the table was closed and another won didn't open up... I started screaming shenanigans untill i realised I had just been done over by a straight flush at the worst possible time.... Oh well.

Looking back on it now I think I made a mistake by c-betting the flop when it could have easily hit either of the two players and in doing so felt like 9600 was cheap enough for me to chase my flush which eventually led me to be beat.
 
Early on in last night's tournament. Fold half-a-dozen hands, then hit Jd Js. Min bet, 1 re-raise, 2 other callers. I call.

Flop comes Jh Jc Kh. Four of a kind!

Check. Bet, Raise, Re-Raise. I'm genuinely confused at that. I'm guessing the others hit kings, and maybe a flush or straight draw. I call.

Turn comes Ks. Full round of betting, gets heated, 2 all-ins, one fold (after putting half his chips in the pot :eek. I call.

1st player turns over his cards. Kc, Qc (Three kings)
I turn over mine. Jd Js (Four Jacks)
3rd player turns over Ah, Qh (Ace high, but straight flush draw).
4th player (who folded) said he was holding pocket aces - though that didn't make any difference to any of us at that point).

I don't need to tell you what the river was.

Barca, to have a deep run in any tournament you need to have things go your way.

You can play the most perfect poker ever, but if you dont have luck on your side you'll still lose.

Stop making up bad beat stories. It's embarrassing.

True. I'm not disagreeing. There are different types of luck though. For example, in this tourney i got chipped up early from a combination of good play and luck.

Had pockets 9s, flat call as i was in early position. Only two callers. Flop comes out A, 9, K. I'm loving life at that moment. I check, big bet, then a re-raise, i only call again, first to act folded. So now it's two handed. Turn was a nothing card 2. He again bets big, i put him on two pair, and again i only call so i can milk him on the river. River comes up nothing card 7. He bets big, i move all in, he calls, sure enough he has AK two pair.

That was lucky that i hit my trips and he hit two-pair and i was able to milk it, but i was never in a shitty position trying to make up ground on his hand. That's perfectly fine play.

Calling an all in with J5 and then A2 is just pure luck donkey play.

So yes, i was lucky with the cards, but if you dont' DEPEND on luck there's nothing wrong with that.

Also mdc, i've SEEN that hand happen live in front of me at Crown i think a year ago or something like that. Was horrible watching the guy with lower quads lose it, his face was priceless though.

I don't think it was that bad of a play.

First hand, you said he raised first and then you came over the top of him. Considering you had 4 times his chips and how deep into a tournament it was, you'd assume he was pretty much pot committed after his raise (which I'm assuming was an attempted steal, which is an acceptable play, since you can't really wait for a premium hand when you're tiny stacked heads up in a tournament). It was a steal, and after he raised he had to call you if you shoved.

J5 heads up wouldn't have the worst odds anyway.

And as for the next one, any ace heads up is a good starting hand. He could have put you on tilt, or on a hand like KQ easily.

Heads up, getting dealt an ace and raising, you probably wouldn't fold to a re-raise would you?

That story would be believable if there was someone stupid enough to go all in chasing just one possible card in the deck on the river (2% chance approx). With so many people betting heavy and going all in then it must occur to a player in that situation that the other players would certainly have at least a jack or king (which would give them a full house).

The player that hit on the river was the first bet post-flop, and was pot committed after that.

...and MDC I only post the memorable ones. I go 'all-in' way too much (bit hard not to when it's "only" cent games) and at these levels lots of action. What you don't see is the rest of my play (someone called me a vending machine the other day...took me a second to realise).

The lure of the 'extra card' is often too much when the cost is 'just a little' more. It's why I play for fun, and usually lose anything I win pretty quick.

Nah. You only post made-up ones.

I was going to call out your bs bad beat stories earlier, but I figured you'd stop posting them at some point. Clearly you have no plans to, so here we are.

It should be pretty obvious to anyone who plays why they're blatantly false. I only ask that you please stop doing it, as made up bad-beat stories are incredibly tilting.

Poker's brutal enough without having to make shit up.

For the first hand, i wouldn't say he was pot committed at all. Blinds were still relatively small for a final table. It's obvious the first raise was an attempted steal, but he really should have folded after i shoved. When i asked him why he went all in he said 'because i knew i had two live cards' which would be fair enough if one of them was at least half decent.

The one that REALLY pissed me off was the second one though. He raised with A2, which mind you is fair enough, but it was only 3xbig blind and he should have gotten away from it after i shoved. You asked if in the same position i would have called, and the answer is definitely NO. He should know that a person shoving all-in which would end his tourney would have better than an A2. And even if he though i had pockets and his A was an overcard, it's still not very good odds to chase one. I would fold in a heartbeat.

Mind you, i didn't lose any money from this, i actually made my buy-in back, but i lost a seat to a stage 1 satellite for a 250K guarantee.

Meh.. Cash tables have been good today so i can't really vent anymore.
 
Playing in a tourney for hours then out in two straight hands.

My AQ v TJ (called UTG, then called my 4xBB raise :eek:). I cbet into a 10 on the flop, it got very messy and I lost a big chunk of chips.

Next hand, very short stacked and get AA. All in of course, only to be called by BB (understandable, my stack was only marginally higher than the BB) who has KJ. Ace on the flop and I've got the mental fist pump going. BB goes on to complete a straight on the turn.

Just out of the money......again.

mdc, I'm not making this up, honest.
 
5c/10c NL red kings.
3 players all in pre flop.
My KK v JJ v KJ
KK holds up.
My vent,
I had been playing for a short time and my $10 was down to 9ish and JJ only had $5ish.:D
