Now THAT was a Bad Beat (AA)...

[Zybomb]

Definately a bad beat because of the odds you were after the flop... but thinking about the way this guy played it, it may not be as bad as it appears considering he didnt know that you held AA. First of all, this is why I HATE limit poker, because you are outdrawn so often and people can afford to stick around to do so. Thats why I always play tournament NL, or 1/2 NL cash tables (with a max buy in of course), to eliminate this from happening.

But being it was a limit game heres jus my thoughts

The guy called a raise with AQ...nothing wrong there

He had to figure you were going to bet the flop regardless and when it appeared for the most part rags, and the other opponent in the hand before you checked, he may of called thinking he either had the best hand, or if you were ahead with something like a small PP, that his call may slow you down and he may be able to take the pot down on the turn.

The turn hits and you fire again, so he has to wonder if you are just sustaining your aggression or you have something legit....he has just hit top pair with top kicker though, so he calls

The river hits and its a money card for him....trip Qs with top kicker.

Considering what you held and what he held, wow thats awful! But as far as his play goes, its not great by any means, but it may not be as awful as it first appears to be.

Lemme know what you think
