Not really a bad beat, just a bad hand.
2/5 NL
UTG calls,
UTG+1 makes it $15
I'm in the BB, been playing very tight the entire game. I decided to have some "fun". I have 9 10 spades. I ask him, "do you want a call?" He replies, "sure."
I call, UTG calls
Flop is Q99. I'm happy
check, check, check
Turn is a 5
I bet out $25: call, call... w.t.f.
River brings another 5:
Board is now Q9955
I bet out $50.
UTG raises all-in
UTG+1 raises all-in (has UTG covered)
I react... I don't think... I say "I have to call"
UTG has J9 for 9's full of 5's
UTG+1 shows QQ for Q's full of 9's
and I of course, have 9's full of 5's as well.
Sick.
It's mostly sick because I didn't think, I just reacted.
Had I sat down and thought rationally I could have figured it out.
One had to have a 9. It's safe to say no one had a 5. This means that I am chopping with one person, and that I'm risking all my chips to AT BEST split the chips of the other guy, and in the worst case I am risking ALL of my chips to win another $100 or so. I really am better than that, I should have figured it out. I was in perfect position to make a huge laydown, but instead, I was an idiot.
