my li'l garden variety bad beat du jour :)

[BDMK]

this one just in, from the still ongoing 11/16, 7:30pm WPT PCA $3rebuy sat on stars...

towards the end of the second hour, 58 ppl remaining, my M is cca 15, im in early-to-MP preflop, limp in with AJo, 3 callers/limpers, all of them large-ish stacks (2 of them 'certified' wild fishies...)

board comes As-Js-Xs

pot size a little more than half my stack. this is now my chance to make it or break at this point in the tourney. the same guys have thus far raised at least 3-4x preflop with almost any aces, so the limping here tells me they should have no aces. of course, theres the freak made low/mid flush possibility already, but i gotta do what i gotta do, so i push allin, being second to act in the pot. plus of course i have two pair as is plus the remaining measly outs: 2 more aces and jacks apiece.

everyone folds, except for one of the larger (cca 2.5x my stack) stack limpers who goes into time bank and calls...with pocket red kings. lol

turn comes (drumroll, pls!) a king, of course. (needless to say, no help on river...)

58th out of 196. oh well...the (bad/unlucky) beat goes on.

i should post on this subforum regularly, so we can all have a good laugh at my bad/unlucky beat(s) du jour.
