Time for my bad beat rant

I knew I'd post one sooner or later... turns out to be the former ;P

UB Ultimatepoints, NL table...

Bought in for 1000.

A couple hands later, the blinds have passed me by, and I'm at 965. Nothin worth playin yet.

Early bettor doubles the blind pre-flop. I call, and big blind calls.

I'm on J K clubs.

Flop comes. A J J Rainbow

Check to the raiser, he bets 50, I call, BB folds.

Turn comes... 3

Raiser goes all in.

I put him on A x. No straight or flush out there to speak of. I call.

He shows A 10o.

Pair of Aces to my trips.

I'm the 22:1 favorite at this point, if my math is not failing me.


And we all know how this story ends.


I know I know, that's poker... and it's not the worst beat of my life either, but I just always need to rant about anything like this hehe.

It's shit like this that somehow makes me love the game even more... call me crazy Wink

Oh well, he did have the best hand going into the flop.
