Outrageously Awful Bad Beat: Out Boated
So I’m playing tonight and I knew it wasn’t going to be my night anyway. Early into the tournament I picked up wired Kings and threw in a hefty re-raise to a raiser… Of course an ace comes on the flop and the girl insta-jams. I fold and she shows A-8 off suit I was like “one of those nights….”
Later on I’m in the small blind with 9-8s of clubs and I call then check dark. The flop comes 2-9-8 rainbow and my dark check is set up perfectly for a check-raise. Its me, Under the Gun and 2nd to act in the pot…. UTG checks and 2nd to act goes all-in. I go all-in over the top and the under the gun thinks for a while then calls.
UTG Reveals 10-10 and 2nd to act reveals A-Jo (yeh wtf was he doing?)
The turn comes an 8 and gives me 8s full of 9s so I’m thinking “sweet I’m good now, nice triple up.” Then the river comes out a 10 giving the under the gun guys tens full of 8s eliminating me out of the tournament.
While I’m used to these horrible beats on Full Tilt and am used to being victimized by them at least 3-4 times a tournament but I haven’t had a bad beat this bad live in a long time so I decided to write about it.
Here’s a digital representation of the hand.
