BBB (Bad Beat Barn)


No, I didn't take any bad beats, but a few others did. It hurts really bad when you take a bad beat, however sometimes it hurts even more watching a friend at the table take one. Ok, here is the hand with the gross ending.
I will pick up the hand after the turn card, what happened before it is a non-factor to the hand.
Board shows (As 5h 7c Kh)
The Pot is roughly only about 40BB's, three way pot, first two players check and player with position goes all in. All in player had both player 1 and 2 covered easily. Player 1 goes into tank and stares at All In player for about 3 minutes and announces call (he had about 90 BB's). Player 2 folds and showdown time. Player 1 has (AK), Aggressor has (4 6) for the dry open ender. I ask if they want to run it and Player 1 denies it and i pull a 3!
Yuck, Gross, Sick, Player 1 is devastated and is gonna have a tough time going to sleep (i know i would). Sometimes players cant miss there draws and tonight was that night for the aggressor, winning over 550 BB's.
My night was pretty uneventful. I caught one set early in the night and raised up the pot on the flop and lost both players. On another hand i found QQ vs the shortstacked KK and got no help from a lady. There was one hand that i played worth mentioning, here it is:
I open the pot for 8 BB's in EP with (JJ) , i get about 4 callers until UTG min raises to 16 BB's. This player was pretty inexperienced so i had to give him credit for a hand bigger than mine, i just called for set value and so does the rest of the table. Pot is a juicy 75 BB's going to the flop. (8s 6s 2h). UTG minraiser makes it 25BB to go sounding very confident, i fold JJ pretty quick considering the strength of my hand. He (UTG) gets one caller. Turn is (Qd). UTG goes all -in and other player tanks and folds. UTG shows AA after i tell him to show aces.
Results= -9 BB's
