Worst Bad Beat In Poker and Best Beat?

crunkyjens · March 4th, 2008, 07:20 PM

What are everyone's worst beat's and best beat's while playing online?

I have to say my worst beat's always happen when I have pocket Ace's and I lose to straights or flushes. Never seems to fail!

Man I have had numerous occasions of bad beats, It is expected in the game of poker however, and I find that it happens more online and in lower stakes.

I've lost to so many bad beats I can't even count them. The beats do seem to be worse online, but I think that is somewhat a function of playing nearly twice as many hands per hour, and if you play two gamess simultaneously you will see about 3-4 times as many hands as playing live action poker, which conversely means 3-4 times as many bad beats

My best advice regarding bad beats, is to get used to them, don't let them affect your mental psyche, and most importantly if people weren't playing bad, there wouldn't be any money to be won

Good advice there. If as a poker player, you get bent out of shape with bad beats, you may want to consider playing something like Old Maid.

I been involved in plenty of bad beats on both the winning and losing side of things. If you play poker regularly, you'll be a part of them often. All you can do is forget about it and move on to the next hand as quickly as possible. Don't let the bad beat affect your play on future hands.

You will definitely see more as you play online as you say we can play multiple tables. All we can do is forget about the bad beats and move on. Sometimes we get likely and a bad beat makes someone go on tilt and we get the rest of their chips.

I've lost with quads a few times. When you think you've won, they sucked out. Not fun at all

Boy isn't that the truth! Online players tend to (at least what I've seen) play longer and more often than brick and mortar players... so if I'm playing more often, I have to expect to see the bad beats more often.

I play on Pokerstars.

I don't even flinch anymore when someone catches runner runner quads to beat my aces full boat anymore.

That is all I have to say on the matter.

That's how I've lost with quads on PokerStars. I had a pocket pair and flopped quads only to see my opponent hit their runner runner while holding a higher pocket pair. Not fun!

I have just seen too many beats. I don't even let it bother me anymore. While everyone else is like "oh my god" or "wow" or whatever response I am just like, "that sucks, next hand please." Once you have played enough you realize there really is no sense or value in worrying about a bad beat. The sooner you can place it in the back of your mind the sooner you can move forward.

Bad beats roll off me like nothing even happened. I can almost gauruntee you never see a bad beat post outta me but never say never.
