I was in late position (don't remember exactly) playing $25 PLH on Party Poker. I was dealt 99. I made it $0.75 to go (a pot bet would have been $0.85), and got one caller. Flop comes KKx. The caller checks, so I value bet $0.75 just to see if he hit a set, and he smooth calls. Turn comes 9, making my 9's full boat, he checks, I bet $2, he smooth calls again. River comes 7, he fires out $5 (so I put him on a slow played King), I make it $15, he re-raises me all-in, and I call. He shows K7 to beat me with a Kings full boat on the river.Before you say it, I know that I got out played, but that doesn't change the fact that he was 5-1 underdog going into the river. He had three x's, three 7's, and one King that could beat me...so Eddie, he had 7 outs and I concede that this doesn't meet your qualifications of a bad beat.

Also might not qualify due to the fact you were a 2 to 45 dog on the flop.

He was a little worse than a 9:1 dog on the flop. Not 45:2.

4.3-1(roughly)bad beat, I think notbut that situation does suck

5.43:1, going from the turn to the river.44 cards left, 7 outs to redraw to a boat or quads (1 king, 3 x's, 3 7s)38:7 = 5.43:1My math could be wrong.

Hey, if he had raised me on the flop (enough to get my attention) I probably would have never seen the turn. I can't remember what the x card was, but I put him on 2 pair Kings and x's when he called my flop bet. I never said that I played this hand perfectly, but I think I did have reason to believe that my 9's full were just as good after that 7 fell as they were on the turn.
