$3 4 table tournament

I got crippled in the very first hand in this tourney , when a set of trips made a boat against my nut flush on the river... was left with 300 in chips (out of 2000). then i doubled up a few times and im one of the chip leaders when there are 10 players left in the tourney.. one player out and the final table will commence,. then this happens

I don't think that's a bad beat because he didn't make that bad of a call. Now losing to TT would be a different story (that happened to me). Wink

so if I go all-in with my aces and someone with kings who called hits a runner runner flush on the board its not a bad beat? i must strongly disagree here...

plus it was one seat from the final table!


now supa's new post, THATS not a bad beat... dude was behind all the way Razz

Pretty tough beat considering the cirumstances. Better luck next time. The important thing is that you played the hand right, that really is all that matters.

And I like your HH. It's full of string bets lol. Seat one calls 5$, AND raises 10$!!

Don't worry about it. I had this bad beat in one of those 50 man sng tourneys on party. Towards the begginnging of the match. I have AA, blinds are 30/60, guy min raises to 120 I reraise to 400. Rest of the table folds. Flop hits, garbage, he pushes all in. I call. He shows A6. Catches runner runner 6 FOR THE WIN. And I bust out of the tourny on the next hand. Amazing.

how did my name get dropped in this convo..

I like how in all my recent tournies i've almost exclusively busted out with QQ. Everytime its to Kx. In the tourney i just played (~1k players top 15 pays, 54 left) im sort of short stacked. Chipleader raises it 4X the BB. I think for like 2 seconds then re-raise all-in. He INSTANT calls with K7. Of course the King comes on the river like i knew it would. Its just depressing getting busted out near the bubble each time by a bullshit hand that has VERY few outs.

edit- flopping a full house and getting it busted is about the most depressing thing that can happen. Its like flopping the nut flush then someone goes runner runner full house. Wrist-slitting depressing *pulls hair out*
