Ok, poker players love to tell you bad beat stories (stories about hands where they were way ahead but then got very unlucky and lost). But this story is about a bad beat I put on someone else today.
I was getting short-stacked in a tournament and it was time to move all-in, try to double up, with four people left. I look down at J-J. No brainer. I push all-in. The guy behind me calls and shows A-A. Great. I'm a 4-1 dog in this hand. And to make it worse, an Ace comes right off on the flop. I'm less than 1% chance to win now.
On the turn comes another Jack, giving me three Jacks, but still way behind his three Aces.
Then the miracle Jack on the river gives me quad Jacks. Unreal. I chuckled and said 'sorry buddy' to my screen. Believe me, I've been on the other end of a hand like that many times, and it is absolutely no fun.
