I try to forget my bad beats but this one has stuck with me.This was a few yrs ago but it went something like this.I get pocket aces (ten player table) and buddy raises , I re-raise and he pushes..........so I call(everyone else folds).We see hole cards and he has............POCKET ACES spade and heart.When we see the hole cards it's like hardy har har.......look at that (figure it will be a split pot).Flop comes with three spades, (gets my attention)...turn card a heart , and...........RIVER A SPADE!Talk about nasty cards/luck.This was on Poker Stars btw.I've played alot of hands over the years and have gotten pretty much every poker hand a few times over but have never had this hand replay (thankfully).As they say......that's poker.
That is painfull, I have a had a similiar hand where all the money goes into the pot pre-flop because he over-betted (which made him pot commited) and I raised him all-in with pocket aces. He turned over aces as well so it was pretty much looking like a split pot.
He has As Ah and I have Ad Ac.
The flop a spade, a diamond and another spade. Turn card: spade and the river card stuck in my memory King of Spades!!! He hit a flush.
OWW! It was so painfull because we both had deepstacks and where about an hour into the MTT and he left me so crippled it was unbelievable I had something like 326 chips left and the blinds were something like 100/200. It hurt sooo much, but like you say- that's poker and bad beats like this is why we love the game so much. My bad beat is pretty much mirroring yours apart from my bad beat worse worse because he got runner, runner spades for a back-door flush that was 98% chance that it would be a chop.
In fact, when I do gardening I use a fork for revenge.
