So i call the big blind raise with pocket AAs and I was trying to get cute. Slow play em and nobody raises. The flop comes down As Ah Qs. So im like crappin my pants. I check and so does the small blind. The next card off is a Ts. I hope that he has a flush draw and bet 100 dollars. He calls and the next card is like a deuce or something. I bet like 500 he bets all in. I call and flip over my rockets like im awesome. He sits for a second like hes amazed like he lost. Then throws down his royal flush. That actually happened. No joke.

Indiana Casino
 

A couple of my friends went to a casino in Indiana a few months ago. My one buddy was playing 6/12 limit hold \'em and won 2 pots in a row. When this happens a \'Kill Pot\' is created and the limits double so the game became a 10/20 limit game. Anyways for this kill pot hand the guy to his left is raising pre-flop and reraising and another guy is re-raising with Pocket Kings, and there\'s one other guy that\'s calling everything, the flop happens after the betting is capped. The flop is K-3-common card, all different suits (1 heart, keep that in mind). So the guy across the table makes his trips, but the guy next to my buddy keeps betting and raising until it\'s capped. The turn is a heart so there are now 2 hearts on the board and it also makes a 2-pair for the guy that has just been calling all the bets/raises. Betting is capped again after the turn. The river makes a third heart. So the board has 3 hearts (no pairs on board) The guy to the left of my friend bets and the guy with his KKK calls and so does the guy with 2-pair. The guy with his trip Kings shows his hand and next is the guy with 2-pair. So now you are wondering what the guy who was doing all the raising has.... 2/3 of HEARTS!!!!! and makes a bs FLUSH with a runner-runner! The guy with the Kings was so pissed off at him but the guy with his cute 2/3 of hearts had this to say about his hand after the flop, \"I had to stay in, I had a pair of 3\'s!\" Everyone at the table not involved in that hand was cracking up. The pot wound up being over $700.

Bowmans Poker
 

HAS TO BE THE MOST RIGGED POKER SITE ON THE NET! I repeat: RIGGED. They have shill-player on tables, usually where there are players that have recently made withdrawals. For those of you that don\'t know, Shill players are fake players that are paid by the Poker site to play at tables from the Poker site\'s office where they have the ablility to know everyone\'s cards and control them (flop, turn, river) using the Poker site\'s own software in order to take everyone\'s money. Believe me online Poker is NOT random. Last month I was up $5800. I am a Poker expert by the way. In real life whenever we play with friends (10 player tourneys), I almost always finish 1st or 2nd. So anyways, I did what I never did before: cash-out. And guess what happened, \"shills\" started STEALING my money! At the $3/6 NL, I am delt AQ, flop A Q 10 (no flush draw) I bet $12, someone raises me to $36, I go all-in for almost $300 fearing the potential straight draw but hoping for the boat. The C*CK-SUCKER CALLS with 7 2 offsuit! I was laughing. Turn: 2 River: 2 B.S. Oh and by the way, they are not \"dumb players\". The following hand I get raised preflop with 4 5 suited, limp in and flop 2 3 6 raimbow. He checks, I bet $8 and he folds right away. Folds two over-cards but calls with absolute garbage. At the ten player tourney, I have AK off, get raised preflop, call, flop K 9 9. Now I said I was a Poker expert, and because of the Poker player\'s way of playing, I read he had no 9 for raising preflop. So I go all in, fearing an Ace. He thinks for a moment and calls (no flush draw by the way). He flips over J2 offsuit (one of the WORST hands in Poker). He was next to dead. Turn was a Queen and River was a 10, what non-sense! I had countless bad beats of this sort. Many people said I don\'t know how to play but I do. I was winning until Bowmans laid the \"withdrawal penalty\" on me. Coming to think of it most of those shills were always from Istanbul or Ankara. Funny hun? You have 90% of the players from the U.S., Canada and Europe and yet a country that barely has Internet connection and where the religious AND political laws prohibid gambling have so many. Since my cash-out I also had countless set ups. At the heads-up, my opponent all-in with any pair win automatically. So if he has deuces and I have AJ suited, I can only watch my hand collaps. But when I have KK/QQ/TT, etc and go all in and get called with Ace-rag offsuit, first thing to hit the board is an Ace. I have had it! No more Rigged Poker for me! I play Texas Hold \'em Poker, NOT Rigged Poker.

I am short stack, A9 hearts. I raise, guy puts me all in. He has AA. Flop is 10h, 4h 9d. Giving me a flush draw. Turn is 9c, giving me 3 9s. The only car he can beat me with is the case Ace - a 44 to 1 shot. He hit it, sending me home (screaming).

Im playing a 250 dollar min buy in cash game. Im in a late position in a 10 handed game. I look down to see pocket 5\'s. I got about 140 dollars in front of me. There are 4 calls of the 5 dollar initial raise. I say what the hell all-in. It gets all the way over to the 2nd or 3rd guy who called the initial bet of 5. He calls me with pocket queen\'s. After the pot is collected and the cards are turned i realize the bind im in. The flop brings me 53A. Right before the turn i am informed by two of the previous people in the hand that they folded a queen. So i am just estatic. I begin raking in the chips when he hits an ace on the turn and river to give him the aces full. To make a long story short i murdered everyone at the house and took all the money. I think they said something like \"but thats poker,\" and i said, \"not where i come from.\" Where do i come from you ask? Welli will tell you. Its a place where we kill people for administering bad beats. So if you bloody people is fixing to slip me the bad beat online then ill come through that computer screen, and ill rip out your eyes and skull fu#$ you.

I was playing in a $50+4 shorthanded (5 man) sit and go tournament. Top 2 finishers get paid. Three handed with 3000 chips (7500 in play) the small blind raises 300 of his remaing 1500 into me. I reraise him all in with my pocket 9s. He relunctantly calls with 3s. Flop is A109 rainbow. Sure enough turn 3, river 3. I\'d get mad, but having a 0.1% flop for someone that they hit is pretty amazing. I\'ve never had a royal flush in thousands of hours of playing, which I\'m sure has better odds than that. Sure enough I finished in a solid third place, which paid a hefty zero dollars. Sorry no screenshot. Clicked off real fast and walked away from the computer after that one, lol.

These three happened in succession one night. 1) A rebuy tournament after the break ($9,000+ prize pool) I have pocket aces and raise 900 chips (blinds are 100-200). One person calls. Flop comes down Q-9-7. I bet 600 and am called again. Turn makes a board of Q-9-7-3. I bet 450 and my opponent goes all in (about 5000 chips). I have him covered by only a few hundred. It was a little risky, but I called. I do a little cheer when I see I have him beat, pocket aces to pocket jacks. The river is a jack. Pretty much game over for me. When I go all in a little later with Big Slick and a small stack I get busted by 5-4. 2) $11+1 sit and go Four of us left (three get paid out) and we all have more or less the same amount of chips. I have pocket kings and raise substantially. I get one caller. Flop comes down 6-6-Q. My opponent checks and I follow suit. The turn is a king (bingo) for a board of 6-6-Q-K. My opponent then goes all in. Too late, pal, I think to myself as I call. Sure enough, he has 6-J, and his set of 6s is a huge underdog to my Ks-6s boat. I\'ll give you one guess was the river was. That\'s right, a 6. He had me covered and I was out. 3) $11+1 sit and go Wondering why PokerStars rewards bad play a disproportionate amount of the time, I decide to enter one more sit and go. It\'s early and I\'m doing well, up 2000 chips, and I get pocket kings in big blind (30). One person raises to 60 and another calls. I raise to 200 and first raiser folds while the second guy, genius that he is, goes all in. Pocket kings is probably one of only two hands I\'d go all in with pre-flop, so I call him and see he has pocket 4s. It waited until the river, but sure enough I got poker-starred again as a four comes.

Tournament: in position I raise pre-flop with A-K diamonds, get reraised, I call. flop comes: Kh 2d, 6d -- great, top pair and nut flush draw. the guy to act first goes all-in I have him slightly out-chipped and this is one away from the money. I decide to call, this guy has been on-tilt and not making good choices. WE flip. I have him killed, He\'s holding pocket queens -- clubs and spades. He\'s got one out. ONE OUT. if the Queen of diamonds hits, i\'ve made my flush... the turn is 2h, I can taste the money... oooh what\'s this? The queen of hearts on the river!? ick. buh bye. he caught it.

Home Game
 

Home cash game, pot was 165$, I had bought in for 15$ with blinds $.25 and $.50, and after about 30 minutes of play ran my stach up to 28$. Then this happened: I was in third position, and look down at 4d4c. I smooth call, and so do 3 others, and the big blind checks. The flop comes down Ah 4h 8d, giving me a set. BB checks, and I bet out $1.50. Everyone folds to the BB, who is a really loose-agressive player. He raises me 1.50$, and immediatly I put him on a flush draw, maybe Jack or Queen high. I don\'t want him to draw to it, so I raise him 5$ more, giving him the wrong pot odds to call (31% to hit, 5$ bet into an $11.50 pot). Being the loose player he is, he calls me in a second (strengthening my thought that he is drawing since he called so fast). The turn is the 8h, giving me 4\'s full of 8\'s, and 3 hearts on board. He checked, and I bet 5$. He raised me all in, which was 13$ more. I had him covered by a quarter, and I called almost immediately, knowing my hand was best. To my surprise, he flips over Ah 3c. Before the river came, one kid said he folded an Ace, and 2 other kids say they folded 8\'s, leaving him one out. The Ace of spades. About 2% to get that card. I'm sure you call all guess what the river was.

I had lost to the same guy on four big hands & pots (2 all ins). Two were lost holding a full house, one to a higher flush, and one to a higher 2 pair. Three times he done me on the river and once on the turn. So, now i\'m angry, I reload with a wegde of chips and await my revenge. Dealt pocket 22. I check, flop is 228. I go all in. He calls with pocket 88. Turn is a K. You can guess the damn river! A freaking 8!!! I lose everything again to the same guy. I hate poker!

Down to 10 people in a 50 person tournament. Blinds are $1K and $2K. I am on the button. I look at my cards and am pleased to see pocket A\'s. I raise to $10K the small blind calls everyone else folds. Flop comes Ks, 7d, 10d. Small blind checks I go all in for another $6K and he calls. He shows As Kd. I am way ahead. The turn comes a another diamond and I am afraid of him now catching a diamond flush. Sure enough the river puts 4 diamonds on the board. I am upset and angrily toss my aces into the pot. Then a friend of mine, playing at the same table grabs my aces and turns them over in front of me. I was so upset by seeing that he caught the K high flush that I didn\'t even realize I had the A of diamonds and would have won had I not tossed my cards in the pot. I am not a newbie amateur but was definitely off my game right there. I wasn\'t beat by bad luck or cards I was beat by myself. Moral of the story is to keep your cool and pay attention to your cards.

Live game, 20$ buy in, about 60 people. First hand, I get pocket 10\'s. The blinds are 10-20, I am raise to 50$. Someone calls, the button raises to 200$, first hand remind you. The guys before me calls, I call, and the guy after me calls. Flop is 10-7-2. Guy before me checks, I check, next checks, dealer raises 300$. All three of us call. Turn is a 3 (no flush draw). Check to dealer who bets 400$. Everyone calls again! River comes an Ace. Check to dealer who bets 500$. Two of us call. The guy nexts to me has pocket 7\'s (got his trips), the guy who folded had pocket queens, I had my trip 10\'s, and the ass on the dealer button had pocket Aces, getting his trips on the river. Can you believe this? Four pocket pairs, first hand, 3/4 getting their sets. The aces guy came in 6th for the night; I was out about 6 hands later. :(

Just an observer, but nonetheless an interesting hand... Two players in the hand. Player A UTG all-in, button player calls. Cards flip, A has AA, B has KQs. Flop comes out A-blank-blank and we\'re all talking about another nice rocket win. Turn comes out J, river 10, runner runner for the straight to beat rockets hitting a set on the flop. It was tough to watch.

Flop A 9 A, SB checks, I bet another 5k, SB raises to 10k (i\'m thinking SWEET!!! this chump has an ace and made a set) i call making him think that maybe I have an Ace and maybe a weak kicker. On the turn comes my 4th 9....Quads... and this guy made a full house and he thinks i\'ve got the same hand. All in, He calls, I quickly turn over my Quads as he cursed . The river, just a formality, right? NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! It\'s the 4th ACE!!!!!

A More Technical Bad Beat
 

Not my bad beat, but.....

B&M Tourney, 9 players at our table --

I'm in seat 4 and there's a nice kid in 3. Pre-flop, there are 3 players left:

Seat 3, 7, 8

The flop comes and it's to #7 -

Seat 7 takes about a lifetime to decide what to do. Finally, she goes all-in. #8 thinks about it for a minute, then mucks.

7 flips her cards towards the muck. We'll say they ended up about 18" from her.

#3 says "Dead Hand. It's my pot."

#7 "I didn't know you were in the hand. You were covering up your cards"

#3 "I WAS NOT! Your hand is dead. You mucked."

Dealer calls the floor over, explains the actions not exactly right, and the floor decides that #7's hand is not dead. The kid calls the all-in (he had her covered about 3-1) and loses.

As the next hand is being dealt, the floor person is still close by. The kid calls her over and asks what constitutes a dead hand. The floor says, "Well, if there had been more cards to come, her hand would have been dead."

Of course, the kid goes half-ballistic. He's all-in the next 4 hands, gets a caller once, and wins the hand.

The fifth hand comes and he's all-in again. I go all-in also, and we get one more caller who has us both covered.

The kid: 6-6
Me: A-Ks (hearts)
Villian: A-Jo

The flop come x-J-x turn-x river-x (all black, of course!)

The kid leaves without a word. I wish Ace-Jack-off good luck and leave in 13th, 4 places from the money.......

Quads over Quads
 

Playing in our local casino tourney, 30mins into the tourney I get pocket 10's. In second position I raise, everyone folds but the small blind. Flop comes 10/A/A. Small blind checks, I think hey I flopped a boat. I bet 1,000, he calls turn is a blank, river is a ten. Wow I have quad 10's. He checks, I bet 3,000 he goes over the top goes all in. Looking at the board he should have a boat hey but I have four of kind. I have the nuts, so I call, I turn over my pocket tens to show four of kind he turns over his pocket aces to show four of kind aces. SICK....

Absolute Poker 5 card draw
 

5 card draw, $1/$2 Pot Limit, 4 players. Went in with $50 cash. After 4 or 5 hands, I have $53.00 - slow bettors. Get dealt an ACE high Heart Flush - soft raise got the nice reraise of $7 or $8 or so I wanted. I raised back a few more and he comes back again - my whole $53 is now in and I am gitty with delight. Pat and he's pat - figure a straight. Nope, Full House 6s over 3s - nice hand overall but two pat hands in a 4 handed game?!?!? Cheated? Hell no - what would be the advantage of cheating me out of 50 bucks when they make tens of millions on the rakes - c'mon people - get real. If you drop a ten spot down a rain gutter and worry about getting it out, DO NOT PLAY POKER!! You can't afford it. GL all. Have fun.

Ridiculous player
 

3 players left in the tournament. I'm on big blind $80, player on the button folds, other player limps in. I raise the pot $200 with wired nines. Small blind calls the raise. Flop comes out A 8 4, small blind checks. Knowing that my opponent would bet out on the Ace, I know my 9s are good so I push all in with around $500 in chips. Opponent calls with Q2 offsuit. Turn is dead, river is a Queen. That ended my tournament.
