Counterfeitting
zilbob
One of the worst bad beats out there is the counterfeit. And I recently had the pleasure of experience this gem of an ass rape. I am playing in a 360 person sit-n-go satelitte for Poker After Dark and there are 10 people left in the game. I am pretty low stacked as a result of the blinds being so high but pretty much everyone is in the same position. I am on the button and have A-8. There is one caller to the big blind when it comes to me. I raise to 3 times the big blind. The blinds fold and the original caller calls my raise. The flop comes J-J-8. My opponent checks and I move all-in with a pot sized bet. My opponent thinks for a while and eventually calls. I flip over my two pair and they turn big slick, giving them nothing. The turn brings air so they are down to just a few outs and 1 card to go. Then comes the river . . . that damn river. ACE!!!! Giving me Aces and Jacks with an 8 kicker to their Aces and Jacks with a K kicker. WTF!!!!! No final table? No push to be the winner and move to the next round because I was out kicked on the river. Sometimes you play the hand perfectly and it just doesn’t work out. Counterfeiting is definitely one of the worst because it usually improve you hand while it destroys it all at the same time.

About bad beats..
I was in a 4 Headups 200$ buy-in.
Won my first match..
Last hand…
Stack where almost even.. I get AA.
Raise preflop … get called.. flop shows 8Q5
moved all in .. get call by J5. Rivers shows a 5.. Crazy isnt it ? odds of this one ?
I still can’t believe why with 90% chance to win (not on this hand) in your hand almost 1/2 you lose the hand..
I got that on http://FTP.. I can’t tell you how frustrated i was…
On the other side .. i won some pretty cool hands.. like pocket KK. 3 others guys in the game.. flop comes AKA .. lol.. almost absolutely nuts.. since there was not raise preflop i decided to play it slow.. one guy made a smooth raised get geraised by the other when i moved all in .. lol.. and what i expected came out .. one had A10, other had AJ. funny & both where out.
Very cool blog.. I’ll keep you posted about my bad beats.
