... is what people with no live experience say...

Played a tournament today, UTG min raises I pick up QQ on the button, I shove all in and the original raiser calls. He shows JJ ... Quality QQ vs JJ 80% fav. ... flop (in this order) J,J,K .. good game Flash thanks for coming!!

So before people moan about online bad beats just remember it happens just as much live as it does online.

    I remember on of the local tournaments i was at that backs this statement up(i was not in the hand).
     
    KQ suit of clubs v KK both raise and re-raised pre-flop. Then the flop come, 10clubs, Jclubs, Jhearts

    another small raise battle takes place before the Ace of clubs is shown. Both players check, then a K on the river and the KK moves all in. Unfortunetly the Royal was already hit/

    Hi guys
    Of course people blame online sites for bad beats, but last weekend at the SPT Luton, heres just three i was involved in or saw on the day.
    1. i had tens with only 5 bbs(early position), so i push and get called by kk(i know how could he lol), i flop a flush draw and hit it on the river.
    2. same table 2 hands later. A push and the same vicitim calls again, he has AJ against QJ. This time he hits the J on the flop, but loses to a runner runner 4 flush. Twice in three hands. To give him great respect he didnt go on tilt.
    3. in the £30 tourny, i have AA, put in a 3 times bb bet, get 1 call and a min reraise, so i push, caller folds, raiser calls, he has JJ the folder announces he folded AJ, the flops first card is the case J, some comments of how sick is that, i shrug my shoulders, say nice hand and move on.

    I TELL YOU LIVE POKER IS RIGGED LOLOLOLOL

    i can only concur with this

    at Luton i saw a few "bad beats" and "internet hands"

    my favourite was raising with j6 in the blinds, flop comes j96 vs one player who holds KQ
    turn is a 10 giving him the nut str8, and river..... is a 6 giving me a full house.  happy days:)

    I wouldn't shove on the button, call then raise and put in a pot size bet on the flop or get out.

    You're throwing all your arms n legs away and u c ant do nothing but sit n watch, I always like a way out

    Grrrr

    Isn't it annoying when you make a long reply and then think you click 'Edit Post', and then click YES, without realising you've originally clicked 'Delete Post'.......... It only happens online!

    first time i played poker, I managed to get heads up and was chip leader, 17 people entered.  The bloke I was playing went all in with QQ and I called with 5 2 off (because he said he couldnt be bothered anymore and I believed him)  The flop came A34  and it was goodnight from him and hello £85 to me.  Needless to say I had some abuse
