Another Bad Beat sad face thread

i have (A A) on the dealer button

i raise a hefty raise before the flop like 3-4x time the blinds.

flop comes like 9 6 2 all different suits



everyone in the hand checked ( like 3 other people) to me

i bet about the pot and a person calls by going all in

the dealer shoots out the remaining cards and i have a sad face

the person had (2 , 2) and hit a set on the flop

boo hoo

:( :(

then i lost a few hands later in the tourny

it was a 2 dollar tourny

but hey thats a fortune to me

i lost 550 dollars over the past 4 or 5 days


it mainly accumulated through consistently losing when i was all in as a 60-80% favorite :disgust:

that sucks

also i must add that i absolutely hate ace king and it needs to die

Since when is it a bad beat when you're a 9 to 1 dog at the time you move all in?

its not a bad beat, its just lousy luck, if the entry fee was 2 bucks, then your gonna see alot of pretty persistent chasing

I always caught between slow playing them or going just for pot

yeh ive noticed alot of people chasing like u said in these low dollar tournies

crazy people play those low dollar tournies.... if you bet pretty big before the flop... chasing w/ a pair of twos.... thats crazy imo ;)

Um, 3-4x the BB isn't a huge raise unless the tourney structure is wacky or its really late in the tourney. Most decent players will call a raise with pocket deuces (assuming you have a big enough stack to pay them off) because the implied odds are fucking huge if you hit your set and they can put you on AA, KK, AK/AQ. You'll see the same play with suited connectors or one gappers (Though usually you'll want position with these guys.)
