Too funny man.

Tell me about it.
I guess you can say that I did put a bad beat on the other guys,
but at least I had the best hand when the money went in.

Talking Poker · #4 10-24-05, 01:05 AM

You most certainly can not say that. There was no bad beat here. The best hand won. There ALMOST was a bad beat, but there wasn't.

Quite the rollercoaster of a hand....

I had something similar happen last night... I hit a set of 4s on the flop and the guy to my right goes all-in with a pair of 8s, I call, he hits his set of 8s on the turn, I hit quad 4s on the river.

Spidey44 · #6 10-26-05, 11:12 AM

I can't believe the 5's even stayed in. Looks to be early on in the tourney. Heck, I would have thrown the 8s away at that point with the raise you put in.

Absolutely -- unless I was simply just looking to gamble and either double up or get knocked out quick
