I could post 2-300 bad beats, but the ONE that sticks out in my mind is as follows.. It has been so long I couldn't find the hand history (RIGHT after paradise started mtt's which I think was a little over a year ago.. maybe 18 months)..
Anyways, $35K guarantee... rebuys/add-ons
Final table
Seat #3 - 500K
Seat #5 - 2.5 million
Seat #6 (me) - 2.2 million
Seat #9 - 900K
I have AKh preflop.. blinds were I am pretty sure 30/60K I also have the button
Seat #5 raises 3BB (180K), I re-raise making it 1/2 million... folds around so the action is HU between me and seat #5.
Flop Comes A82 rainbow.... I bet out 250K, he raises250K, I push my stack in the middle - he calls I think I might be in trouble for a second but this guy has been playing erradically so I know I have him...
He flips over (no I am NOT lying!) T9o - I am looking at my AK and thinking I have the trny (and about 10K) wrapped up.
Turn comes a 7, and guess... river is a damn J
I go out fourth place with around $2K instead of the $10K I would of had if he didn't play this hand.
Over the last (God knows how many years) I have ran into HUNDREDS of bad beats this is the ONLY one that sticks out, and I have had one outters hit me in PLO with $1500 pots... Yet this one still gets me when I think about it, ugh !!!
