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. Beat #1 3 handed, 1st pays $11,193, 2nd pays $7223, 3rd pays $5,349. KK is a 82% to 18% favorite Full Tilt Poker Game #12206156211: MiniFTOPS Event #16 (84243348), Table 212 - 80K/160K - Pot Limit Hold'em - 22:37:42 ET - 2009/05/13 Seat 3: OH for SURE (1,133,580) Seat 6: GoldRivr (10,465,596) Seat 9: hokumfool (2,185,824) GoldRivr posts the small blind of 80,000 hokumfool posts the big blind of 160,000 The button is in seat #3 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hokumfool [Ks Kc] OH for SURE folds hokumfool raises to 1,440,000 GoldRivr raises to 4,320,000 hokumfool calls 745,824, and is all in GoldRivr shows [Qs Qd] hokumfool shows [Ks Kc] Uncalled bet of 2,134,176 returned to GoldRivr *** FLOP *** [Ts Qh Td] *** TURN *** [Ts Qh Td] [Ad] *** RIVER *** [Ts Qh Td Ad] [6d] GoldRivr shows a full house, Queens full of Tens hokumfool shows two pair, Kings and Tens GoldRivr wins the pot (4,371,648) with a full house, Queens full of Tens GoldRivr: im sorry Beat #2 In this hand I am a 91% to 9% favorite. Everyone was fairly short stacked with M's of around 5 except for the chip leader whose M was closer to 20. The payout for 5th place was $1183. The payout for 1st place was $4247. Full Tilt Poker Game #12741865532: MSOP Event #22 Overflow (93981311), Table 47 - 20000/40000 Ante 5000 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:15:17 ET - 2009/06/10 Seat 1: zdarko54 (580,973) Seat 3: hokumfool (409,570) Seat 5: mlowery (407,466) Seat 6: MOD36 (579,698) Seat 7: amarillion (1,883,293) zdarko54 antes 5,000 hokumfool antes 5,000 mlowery antes 5,000 MOD36 antes 5,000 amarillion antes 5,000 mlowery posts the small blind of 20,000 MOD36 posts the big blind of 40,000 The button is in seat #3 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to hokumfool [Kc Kd] amarillion raises to 82,999 zdarko54 folds hokumfool raises to 404,570, and is all in mlowery folds MOD36 folds amarillion calls 321,571 hokumfool shows [Kc Kd] amarillion shows [Kh Qs] *** FLOP *** [As Jc Td] *** TURN *** [As Jc Td] [3d] *** RIVER *** [As Jc Td 3d] [3h] hokumfool shows two pair, Kings and Threes amarillion shows a straight, Ace high amarillion wins the pot (894,140) with a straight, Ace high hokumfool throws up 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. GG GL |
