You wonder what’s all this about? It’s exactly the process of getting a bad beat. You go in as a 68% favorite, you improve to 86% on the flop and on the river you are BAMBOOZLED!

I started playing some 9 handed sit and go’s on Full Tilt and I’m running pretty good at the moment, I’m $95 up after 5 days now, playing the $5 tournaments. And then you’re suddenly reminded of the fact that a bad beat is always just one card away. Look at it:

Threehanded, less than ten big blinds, pocket jacks. What you’re gonna do? Flop a set, build a party. Drawing dead on the turn, unbe-fuckin’-lievable. That’s poker. Some REAL cruelty next time.

Last time I showed you some poker cruelty, it was kind of a bad beat with pocket sailboats. Now I had this hand again in a 45 handed tournament ($10 buy-in), but this time it REALLY was a suck out I had to face.

Here’s the hand:

This really is a flop from heaven: I flop my set again and it’s really disguised. This moron decides to go all-in on this flop with a massive overbet and I insta call as I have him crushed like hell: I am a 93% percent favorite in this situation! I know, this retard still has a small chance to outdraw me when the board AND his pair pairs, but what are the chances? About 7%…
