Ugh I feel sick

[VegasDave]

I was in a $30 + 3 tourney tonight at pokerstars, 600+ entrants, down to 180... I am about 45th in chips with 12,000

I have KK in the small blind... 3rd to act (and 20,000 in chips) raises 2.5 times the big blind... I re-raise roughly double that... He re-raises... I figure of course if he has Aces good for him but at this point no turning back so I'm all in, he calls and flips over QQ

You can guess what happens on the flop.

I know its just an every day run of the mill bad beat story but it hurts so bad.

Worse yet the flop was Ah 3h Qh and one of my kings was a heart... but of course blank turn blank river.

[HAPPY BOY]

yeah King that does suck. Its happened to all of us at one time or other.

[VegasDave]

For sure... I vow never to complain because no one will care, but there are some sympathetic people in these parts...

Besides that, another thing I'm sure you all know... there are some days where you are pretty down and just need that win, and it stings a bit harder on those days.

[shady610]

bad beats are both ways. weve all been sucked out on and all drawn out ourselves.

[Poker_Beast]

Sucks man, get em' next time.

[Illusion]

I would say I'm shocked but you did say PokerStars.

[SBR Lou]

Sucks. Haven't played in a bit, I keep losing my copy of Poker Tracker every time I reinstall Windows.

Does the e-Check on Poker Stars work well? I noticed it added to the cashier a while ago but the limits are so ungodly low, like $100/24hrs to start with.

At least the guy had a decent hand in QQ, even though you had him beat pre-flop. I just hate when they end up having j9 off suit or 33, or some shit and do that.

Yeah sadly this just happened to me the other night (makes you wonder why you play online?)

$10 tourney started with 870 people down to 25... I'm in 11th with 35,000 in chips. Blinds 1000 2000 + 200 ante... I'm in the big blind with As Js. 4th to act (26000 in chips) min-raises to 4000... I see the value and call. Flop comes Ks 9s 8c... he checks... I figure I can take a stab at this 9800 pot so I bet 8000.... he calls. Turn a Qc... he bets 8000 and now I really have no choice considering the pot odds, I push all in. He calls.

And flips over Q3 offsuit.

After besting 845 players, how does someone even begin to consider playing this hand 4th to act preflop? How is this not an auto fold? Then, after the flop, how is the 8000 not enough to get him to leave?

You are right twt... at least QQ you can say "I'd have done the same"

happens just way too often.

[slacker00]

Good one. I don't complain about those kind of beats anymore. If anything, pat yourself on the back, because you got all your money in as better than a 4 to 1 favorite. You will get busted 20% of the times. That's life.

Personally, I'm still getting over playing drunk and losing to players that are far inferior to me. That's my bad beat story from yesterday. At least I was playing for negligible stakes, but it really pisses me off anyway.

people play bad online but also in person especially when the buyin is low.....I very rarley will go all in if all the cards are not on the table online unless I know that I have the nuts too many weird hands....
