I just finnished playing a freeroll tournament at Pacific Poker. They're just for fun and I find I get to learn alot about poker through this kind of tournament - without losing money. Considering my young age, I can't deposit any money in to my bankroll, but I enjoy playing these freerolls just for fun and hopefully win maybe a buck or two and try to build on from there....

Here's the hand that did me in:

800 people entered, 21 people left (top 20 get paid)
I'm low-stack of the tourney, sitting with 12 000 in chips. BB was 2000.

My turn to get the blind - I get 9h 4h (was dissapointed as I thought I was about to lose my 2000). To my surprise, everyone check.

FLOP

3c 9d 4d

I see some light for my two pair, and being low stack of the tourney I can probably look to double up. The small blind decides to puch me all in, a 10 000$ bet.

Looking down on my two pair I don't see that I have any other option - call
everyone else folds.

Of course, he flips over his pocket threes to knock me out of the tournament in 21st place. Worst beat I've had yet.

Thinking back, I could of folded and waited for someone else to lose to garantee my placement in the money, but I guess the pressure and the adrenaline forced me to call - my mistake.

Anyways, just thought it would have been interesting to share...

yes- this post is strictly to complain about just another stupid bad beat, but I figure it was worth sharing...

Have a good day,
Eric

2. Get a few more years of that stellar high school english under your belt before posting again.

I stopped reading right about there!

It happens to everybody. I don't mean to be a jerk, but nobody cares to hear bad beat stories. Not only that, you weren't ahead at any point in the hand. You don't have enough chips to fold, and you just got a little unlucky to bubble. It's a freakin freeroll. Even if you survived you'd only make about $0.75. You'll live. Look under your couch cushions. I'm sure there's enough under there to compensate for your loss.

not really a bad beat when you are behind the whole hand

So you skipped over the part where he says hes in the bb?

The baddest beat Ive ever heard of:
http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/showflat...art=1&vc=1&nt=9

nice to know that in your worst beat ever you were never ahead in the hand.

this can't be a serious post.

It's not even a bad beat. It's just a bad flop at the wrong time.

Bad beats are when you get your money in as a prohibitive favorite. I myself don't even consider it a bad beat unless I "dominate" the other hand (AK vs A7 when all money is in preflop).

Your case was that you had most of your chips invested, you hit 2 pair and the other guy got trips. It was 55/45 preflop and it's not like it was raised or anything.

Bad luck. Not bad beat.

Its a bad beat in the sense of the situation he was forced into from the bb, not having the best hand. I think and hope everyone here is going all in at this stage of an MTT with that hand and this flop.

Jesus, have some understanding kids.

For whoever said i have bad english, im sorry... see im french and I like to just practise typing to better my english... sorry it wasnt up to par...

I realize that it wasnt a beat in the sense of getting rivered or turned... its just beacause I just missed the money by one...

I dont know why so many people have to be mean or rude all the time... if you dont like it you can skip it... no need to reply just to insult me for any reason...

but I just wont post next time... i'll just read instead.

for whoever was dissapointed.. im sorry for wasting your time... i just thought it was an interesting thing to read about... but maybe im wrong

eric

I hear violins.

Don't worry about it honestly. A lot of people have nothing better to do other than make fun of people. I think your English is very well written for most Americans let alone if it is not your first language. Sounds like your doing fine in the freerolls and as long as you are having fun forget the donkeys. Good luck in the future and keep posting, just weed throught the waste and take what you are looking for if it comes.

I still don't get it. How is this a bad beat?

You shoulda pushed all-in preflop

Yup.

I have nothing better to do at all, sorry

My worst beat...

I am the chip leader in a $1,000,000 buy in tournament on PartySuckOut.com.
I get Q5 and decide to call an all in, cause I am crazy like that. What the heck I say, he is probaly bluffing. Well he wasn't and I got knocked out in 31st! Right on the bubble to not get any money back! I was like.."nh". So it was all good. A great experience and all, helped me learn alot about this thing called poker. Funny thing is I thought I was playing Bridge! Better luck next time I thought.

Thanks for letting me post this here.

"HI MOM" <<saying hi to my mom.

Good luck all, hope to see you in the 2,000,000 buy in soon!

just wanted to say nice avatar TightAss.

Carry on....

Your English is fine Frenchy

You played the hand the way it should have been played. Don't fault yourself for that. The next time this situation comes up, call again and maybe you will catch one of your 4 remaining outs to win the hand.

You are doing the right thing playing freerolls to better your game. Good Luck and when you are old enough to deposit I hope you succeed where others have failed.

Read a couple of books as well.

Don't worry about people who flame you, it's part of joining a poker forum.

A)This isnt a bad beat
B)Wrong Forum
C)We love to flame here, so you have to expect it, especially on a thread as stupid as this one
D)No one cares
E)This is CERTAINLY not the 'worst beat yet'

I think about everyone on this site has taken beats as bad as or worse than this one, and we dont feel the need to make a new thread about it everytime


just a heads up,
welcome to FCP

Parlez-vous grenouille? Moi, j'ai pris le francais il etait une fois, mais tout-ce que je pourrais dire etait <<ribbit>>.

Est-ce qu'il y a de Dunkin Donuts la?

Jesus. That really is the worst beat ever...

Good Lord, do you need aces to push or something?

Only limpers, your the BB, you have 5BB left, your cards are suited...

It's time to push - of course in this case you'd probably have been called anyway and lost (but at least the money would have gone in when it was a coinflip).

2 pair vs a set is a common occurrence... I think that is why everyone here is being so dismissive about the original story.

You want a bad beat? Try a multiple-raise eventual all-in preflop, hero with Ace Club, Ace Spade, villian (loose maniac at about average chips, not big or small stack) with Ace Heart 2 Diamond.

Flop is (meangingless)(diamond)(diamond), turn? diamond. river? diamond. Loose maniac scores runner-runner-runner-runner flush, 2 high on the flush.


...That's poker!

Go away

if making the mopney is so important to you that you would considered fold top 2 pair with a serverly short stack maybe you should stop playing
