I've played online poker for over 10 years and I've had some serious bad beats before, everyone does. But last night was particularly painful.
I played in a 4k gtd tournament and ended up going deep. I was dominating with chip lead and in the top five from the bubble onwards. First place was around $1248..... I ended up busting in fifth place, which was about $258.
So you can imagine I was pretty chuffed. It took 4 half 5 hours and Id played a good game.
Then the cardinal mistake of a cash game. I was playing good poker why wouldn't I........Go to sleep!!
Cutting to the chase on a $1/2 no limit full table I wake up with AA. With about $180 behind me. I'm in middle position. I'm about to end the session but get this massive hand! DONKSHOVE ! With a raise from someone in early position I think of trying my luck. Then I get snap called by someone in late position. He must be massive QQ or KK or AK suited. Everyone else folds. So roughly $360 in the pot.
He turns over KK.... happy days.
The flop was brick, queen jack..... then a runner runner special of the 9 and yes the 10 ! Giving him the straight.
Gutted.
