Another Bad Beat, I'll Take It

Curtis Thomas
 
 
Poker beats, what's a player to do? You get it in as a huge favorite and boom!, you're busted. How you handle your bad beats is a huge part of your overall poker game. If you go on life/poker tilt because of an unlucky turn of the cards, you are going to spew in every aspect of you life/poker game. So why am I rambling on about handling the suck-outs? It's all a prelude, a set up, an introduction for a couple of my bad beat stories.

All I have to say is yes these beats cost me thousands of dollars but I am so glad they didn't happen an hour earlier. I am so glad they happened deep at the final table and not in the first twenty minutes of the tournament. That is my story and I am sticking to it.
