This was my first 20/40 game, I usually play 10/20 and 15/30. Both of these hands happenned during my first 4 hands at the table. We were playing 6 handed.Hand 1:UTG raises, a middle player calls, I look at 2 black aces and make it 3 bets, the blinds fold and the other two players call. The flop comes Qd Jh Ah; utg checks, middle player bets, I call. The turn is the Qh; utg checks, middle player bets, i call, utg raises, middle player calls, i re-raise to 3bets, utg makes it 4 bets, middle player folds, I make it 5 bets, utg calls. The river is insignificant; utg bets, i raise, utg re-raises, i call. Utg turns over 4 queens and takes the pot.Hand two (the very next hand):I'm one off the button holding A9 offsuit, everyone folds to me and i raise. The big blind (same guy who just turned over the quads) re-raises while saying he hasn't looked at his cards yet, i call. The flop is 9 2 9 rainbow. He bets, i call. Turn is an Ace, giving me 9's full. Big blind bets, i raise, he re-raises, i make it 4 bets, he makes it 5 bets and I raise him my last $20. River is insignificant; big blind turns over pockets Aces for Aces full. I get up from the table and tell him "thank you you're sending me back to the 10/20 where i belong."

that second one wasnt a bad beat at all

Agreed. Most people who say "I haven't looked at my cards yet," are lying about a big hand.

for hand #2, he did have the best starting hand and most probablly did look at his cards, but regardless he did hit a second consecutive 1-outer on the turn here. But the biggest bad beat of all was that the first hand didnt qualify for the bad beat jackpot, bc we were playing higher than 15/30.
