Well, since this is the bad beat section, might as well throw out my worse ever.Playing 3-6 recently this hand comes up. I get A 10 in the cutoff seat. An immediate raise from early position, a few folds, and I call along with the button and both blinds. Flop comes K Q 9 , giving me THE NUTS, with a ROYAL DRAW. Yeehaw I think to myself as the SB checks, the BB bets, pre-flop raiser raises (naturally), and I 3 bet it, SB folds, BB caps it, and call, call. Turn another club, this one the 7 . I still have the nuts and the royal draw, and I don't fear it necessairly, I can't be beat...yet. BB bets again, other guy just calls (smart one he was), I raise (of course), and call, call. River is the 5 , and I still THINK I have the nuts with just the A . Heck, there is a flush on the board, and I have the best . No royal, but who cares I thought. Oops... BB bets again, other guy folds his set of Queens face up, which didn't bother me any, I raised, and got re-raised. I look at the board again, and notice that there is one hand that can beat me, and only one, the 8 6 , making a Straight Flush. I can't possibly see this happening, but then again I can. I re-raise anyway, and immediately he re-raises. (There is unlimited raises head's up.) Aw hell I think, and if he does have it, it isn't even worth the Bad Beat Jackpot well over $20K. I just call and he turns over the hand I had feared, 8 6 .Jeeze, I was dumbfounded. I just lost a huge pot, and yet it seemed as I replayed it over and over again, that there was no way that I could have gotten him out of the hand unless I had re-raised pre-flop. Even then he might have called anyhoo. I think the odds of the runner runner perfect is like 1 in 926, but if anyone knows for sure, don't hesitate to lemme know. Well, the night wasn't a wash, as I was doing well before that, and I continued to do well afterward, but I won't ever forget that hand.

I was playing 3/6 at a local cardroom and played 5 6 from the big blind in an unraised pot. 6 way action going to the flop, which came out 2 3 4 . I flopped the nut straight, so I bring it in. Two calls and a raise, which I reraise. 4 sided action going to the turn, and the Q comes off. I bet and get a call and a raise, which I reraise again. 2 calls. Three of us to the river. The 9 ! I bet again, hoping that neither of these guys chased the flush down. The one who was calling showed down trip Qs, but the guy who was raising me had runner runner club flushed! He was holding the 8 J !

After the flop, your chances of winning were about 99.8%. He got extremely lucky on that one... sorry.
