billy the punter Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Forget all the bad beats stories, this tops them all. Live SnG and we're on the bubble. Blinds 100/200. In in BB with JJ. Folded to SB who calls. I raise 400. He calls. Flop 67J rainbow :nana SB bets 1200. I move in for 1900. He has about 900 left so has to call my 700 raise. On their backs... Him 86 Me JJ Turn 67J6 :nana River 67J66 :cry Runner runner quads, the biggest beat you can get. I would have gone mad at the dealer but couldn't - it was me! A pal of mine organised a tournament, I went to support him, and the SnG's were only small money for those knocked out the tournament. Thankfully it was only a £20 buy-in at stake.

GaF Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever 95% fav' date='[/quote'] There are runner runner straight options too, and maybe runner runner flushes too - coming out at 91% for me - 1 in 11. Those odds are short enough, they could almost be the same as the odds of the favourite winning the national ...... nothing exceptional....

JulioArca Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever I had a one card straight flush outer in a live game against me after the money went in pre-flop. I had the nut flush so there was only one card in the deck he could hit - and he did! Live poker is deinitely rigged ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samba_SamPa Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever Worst one I reckon is in last year's Irish Winter Festival (?) when 2 of them got it all in on a 66x flop. Dude 1 holding 66 for Quads Dude 2 holding QQ. Turn Q, River Q :loon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulioArca Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever Wow - what were the odds? I am no good at maths but isnt this about 990-1 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billy the punter Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever Yeah the straight options make it bigger obviously. If it was a 62J flop it's 99.9%. It's just the manner of the beat, surely? Gaf - if runner runner quads isn't exceptional then you are playing with a crooked dealer. :rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever Gaf - if runner runner quads isn't exceptional then you are playing with a crooked dealer. :rollin So if he'd won with runner runner straight? or runner runner flush, then it wouldn't have been as bad? :unsure Surely once the money is in the middle, it's win or lose - the specific hand that beats you doesn't matter.... What if it was 50/50 when the money went in (it wasnt in this case I know), but you lose to runner runner quads instead of something else that would have beat you - is that as bad? :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

south_eastern_ram Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever I remember seeing the straight flush v the quad aces in the wsop main event, was it last year? That was quite unbelievable, i felt so sorry for the bloke who had the quads. Probably been shown on here loads of times and it's not really a bad beat but it's so sick.

GaF Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever Whatever you say mate' date=' it wasn't a bad beat.[/quote'] I didn't say it wasn't a bad beat (though if pushed you could probably get that out of me, :tongue2 though I know I'm in the minority there) - however the title of the thread is "Official: Worst Beat Ever" - and I'm sorry - being a 91% favourite isn't the worst bad beat ever - it's not even close. I am sure I lose hands every day where I put the money in as a 91% favourite. That's poker. It's nothing out of the ordinary. I don't know why I came to this thread (I spose I came because I knew it was highly improbable that it really was the "worst beat ever") - I'd usually just ignore a thread with such a title, but as I'm sure many will testify - my views were predictable and I've expressed them many times before to many people in many threads on here - so please, dont take my views personally!

I think I posted somewhere a hand where I completely and utterly mis-read the play and got it badly badlywrong and shoved. I was sitting with 7s 7d on a xc xc 5c board. I go AI for some reason and villain turns over A7c for a Nut Flush. I then hit a 5 on the turn, with the remaining 7 on the river. Took a lot of abuse for it as well. The other player was NOT amused.

I really do think you missed the whole 'spirit' of the original post. It wasn't a serious poker thread which invited discussion. Like I explained, it was a fun game, for small money and I was the dealer. I just felt the manner of the hand was sick. It was a one-outer after all, I mean the odds on turning a house and then losing to one-outer quads is pretty amazing and definitely a story you tell. Runner runner quads is the biggest beat you can get, against a made hand on the flop obviously, I understand that the straight possibilities in this hand made things different. And don't worry I do not take your comments personally, I'm a big boy and have been playing big boy's poker games for some time. I've seen it all (as I know you have), all levels of stakes and all levels of players. I just wish there could be a few funs threads of tales without the constant quest for one upmanship in their replies. I really think it's best to save the over-competitive stuff for the tables. Good luck. :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB44 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Re: Official: Worst Beat Ever I think the worst badbeat ive inflickted on somebodyelse...well not so much the beat just the amount of money we were playing for.... Playing $5/$10 cash KJ on the button....I have around $1500 if i remember correctly 2 callers for $10 then to a loose agressive player to my right raises it to $75, I call everybodyelse folds. Flop A Q 10 rainbow....nut straight. KAAABOOM!! Raiser bets $200, I re pop to $400 hoping hes got AK or something as he would reraise me again. He reraises me ALL IN as hes got me covered by about $800. Instant call by me. He turns over AA. Im praying right now for no paired board. Cant remember the turn... J on the river, and for a split second I thought it was a queen but my straight held up. Anyway thats the most ive won in a single hand..was about $3000+. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
