 Good Beat Story..., Big_Slick, 5. Jun 2003 19:23 | ||

| I've landed 4 quads so far this week in 12 hours of play. I've never had such fortune. 3 of the quads were in hold 'em. The other was playing Omaha hi-lo (with no qualifying low). Of the hold 'em four-of-a-kinds, I flopped my quads twice and the third quad came on 4th street. Best of all, I got great action on all of them except one. So instead of hearing about everyone's misfortune, I thought I'd share my lucky streak with you. Anyone else have a good beat story to share? | ||

| Hey congrats! makes it all worth it doesn't it? I may have shared once before, the best I've had was this: Once, I was dealt pocket 3s two hands in a row, and flopped the set on both, and rivered a boat on both. Lots of action on both too (the second was a kill pot, too) Another time (might have even been the same session), I flopped two straight-flushes in a row. Both hearts, one to the 8 and one to the K. Lots of action on both of those too, as the A was live on both. -Moz "There is no spoon." | ||

| The best beat I can remember was in a Pot Limit game with 1-2 blinds. I was dealt pocket Kings which improved to 4 kings and up against a young man who I think was already steaming a bit. I was able to put him in for about $500. But the really good beat was getting dealt pocket Aces on the very next hand. The poor guy was convinced I was just trying to run over him and as I recall I put him in for another $700 on that hand. Lots of reraises before the flop. I never saw his cards on either hand. I still wonder what he was playing. I should have walked away at that point. I think I gave back about half the win before getting up. | ||

| Very refreshing Big Slick and nice wins. I was at the Bellagio about three days ago(the last night before my trip to cali) and there were two $15-30 hold-em games to play in-both with one open seat. I observed both games before making my decision and noticed that the one game was non-stop chatter and that one of the seats was filled by Daniel Negreanu. I thought to myself,hmmm, should I play with Daniel? I know he is an excellent hold-em player but this game looks so lively! Then I noticed that most of this non-stop chatter was Daniel's Voice,probably trying to loosen the game up, who knows. And then, the game in the corner-filled with a bunch of stiffs! Well being that I didn't want to get that involved in a full session of poker, I thought it might be better to sit in the boring game and just try to grind out a couple of bucks(I'm not one who favors a really lose hold-em game anyway so this one looked like a good spot for me to earn). I take the seat, and I was right on one count-they were a bunch of stiffs, but how my good beat story falls into place is..There was one man in the game,an elderly gentleman, that was siting to my right. I knew almost immediately that he was the lttle fishy! He kept whispering to me as to how many bad beats he was taking that night and that he was stuck over $1,500 because he had pocket Queens four times already and had lost all four times. Now I know that I am not a mathematician by any stretch of the imagination, but, I can figure out that there would be no way that this man could've possibly lost that much money from just losing four hands. This game was way too tight and passive to have experienced such a big loss. Well I was right, this man was a stone cold sucker(and he was a big grouch, too). He was the only overly aggresive player in the game and he was very easy to isolate. One hand he had limped in and I was next to act with pocket tens. I chose not to raise this holding as I did not want to commit to heavy raises(even though the game was tight, there were still seven players who were left to act and I was willing to give up a raise and decided to limp in and play the hand as a medium pair in hoping to flop a set or something that would create a substantial pot. Two players limped in after me and then a fairly tight player had raised the pot and the big blind and the grouchy old man put in the full bet and so did I and the other limpers as well.(I knew I had to hit, but what a nice pot it was already if I do happen to get lucky)! Well, the flop came out K,10,3 all rainbow.(wow, a great flop unless the preflop raiser has a set of K's. The BB checks, the old man comes out swinging and I immediately raised it here to see where I stood with the preflop raiser and to also make anybody else pay to continue.(I did flop a set of tens but the board still contained a straight draw possibility). After I had raised, everyone except the BB and the old man folded(whew, the raiser did not have a set of K's).The old man now raises me back, I re-raise, the BB calls and the old man caps it(5 bet cap in Vegas,yaay)! The BB had just sat down in the game and had only bought in for $200 so he was all-in before the hand was even over! The turn brought the 3 for a paired board that now reads, K-10-3-3. The BB checks(I was certain that he was on a draw and was now drawing dead), the old man bets it again, I raise, the BB calls and right about this time he is pretty much all in. The old man raises me back and then my heart sank-does he have quad three's? It is very possible and I am positive that he did not limp in with two K's(it was not his style of play at all). So I thought that the only hand that could beat me was quads and I decided to raise him back one more time. Well, he raised me back and now I felt awful. He caught the one-outer and now I'm sick. The river brought an off-suit 7 and he bet into me again. I thought about it once more and said, there is no way he doesn't have quad 3's. What else could he possibly have that could give him a nut hand and/or full house? He shouldn't have k-3 for 3's full of Kings and he can't be holding 10-3 for 3's full of tens, so what hand can I give him here but pocket three's? I make the crying call on the river and the first card I see in his hand is the three(yuk), but then, low and behold I see a paint card with it! He had limped in with the K-3 of diamonds! I won a monster pot due to this one little fishy at the table and he just shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't believe that I had 10's full because I did not raise it from the start. He was shaking his head for about 15 minutes after that and now decided that he didn't want to chop with me anymore! I was praying that when it was our blinds that everyone would fold and would be left playing my blind against this old grouch for a heads up confrontation. he was on such tilt and if you were to look at this man you would never imagine that someone with his dimenor and age would play so badly on tilt and would be that overly aggresive. Well, I got my wish once more as when everyone folded to us, he was in the SB and I the BB. He raised my blind (surprize, surprize), I had pocket Kings and three bet him; he just called with his Ace-Queen. Wouldn't you know it, the flop came Q-x-x. This was just one of those really good nights where everything just fell right into place all due to one player! He bet of course, I raised, he three bet me and I just called, waiting to nail him again on the turn as long as an ace didn't hit(wasn't sure if I was going to back off if the Q hit, but anyway...). The turn was a blank, he lead at it again, I raised, he raised me back and I said, ok, he could have a better hand so I just called the turn and the river as well. Another big pot comes my way and from this man alone I made over a thousand dollars in less then 2 1/2 hours! 4 POKER | ||

| I'm playing low limit online. Get dealt AA in late position. I raise preflop. Get a few callers. Flop comes 2-4-A rainbow. (Yippee!!) Do I bet? No, don't have to because two other people are betting and raising each other like crazy. Turns out player 1 had 44 and player 2 had 22. All three of us had flopped sets. Both the turn and river brought kings. Ended up being a 26 BB payday, me winning with Aces full of Kings. I like these stories so much better. –SKinner | ||

| In Shreveport, I was at a 4/8 table that was not loose, but not tight. I'm holding two clubs in the BB, so I get to see the free flop. Well, I flop a Q-hi straight with two clubs. I bet, get raised, then three-bet, chasing everybody but one guy. Turn makes QQ on the board, we bet four times .. he calls my fourth bet. River is my straight flush card! Heads-up, I ask him, how much money you got there? He says, you wanna go all in? I say, sure. My SF card was his Qs over 0s card .. about $175 on a 4/8 pot! | ||

| How sweet is that...somebody actually asked you if you wanted to go all in? Man, that doesn't even allow the person to make any more decisions as to maybe his hand is not the nuts! I only dream of situations like that...great story! 4 POKER | ||

| My favourite good beat story (actually a horrible bad beat for my opponents) was when I made running jacks to my perfect perfect 1-outer. The story goes like this: I had AJ and raised preflop only to get sucked along in a capped preflop. I flop jack high and against my better judgement, manage to get sucked along again. Turn is another jack, so now I put action in myself - capped again. River is the case jack and I'm laughing. Took a $550 pot at 10-20. What makes this such a tale is that two players flopped sets and another player was holding pocket aces. On the flop I was drawing dead to everything but quad jacks. | ||

| My good beat story was today. I limped in with pocket 3's and flopped a set and rivered quads; although i had him beat anyhow, it was great. Then later on my buddy and I finished off with some heads up nl. I limped in with pocket queens for deception and the flop was QQK. So today I got some wicked cards and will have to try to remember that when next I need to put on my mittens. | ||

| One of the biggest pots I ever won was while playing in a $40-80 stud game and was dealt rolled up sevens. There was a call and a raise to me on third street and I decided to slowplay my hand so I just called. I'm glad that I did because on fourth street I had hit quads! The original limper had split sixes and had hit trips on the turn and a raising war went on between him and another player who had a four flush. I didn't put in one bet or raise until sixth street and that is when the open sixes caught his third open six now giving him quads as well. The other player made his flush and when the 3 open sixes bet he had only called and that is when I started to raise. The quad sixes re-raised me, the flush through his hand away and more than eight raises were put in at the river. I also had an Ace on my board so he was certain that I had made Aces full!. What a perfect card to have been on my board because had he not put me on that hand, he may not have raised me so many times. (still, after I was staring at 3 open sixes, what hand could I possibly have to have raised him with that many times on the last card)? I was even more fortunate to not have had a real decent player in the hand with me, for he/she would never have put that many bets/raises in, quads or not! Sweeeeeet! I really do enjoy the good beat stories so much better myself. 4 POKER | ||

| One more good beat story and then I am done! (this one mind you I lost but turned out to be lucky for me anyway)! Playing seven card stud, $20-40 and having a rough session. I thought my luck had changed when I had made Aces full in the first five cards. BUT...my opponent had made a royal flush in five! Here is where the good beat story comes in... I was all in by the first big bet on 5th street and thought that this day was really cruel to me but then I had found out what I was up against and wound up saving alot of extra money that would have made my loss even bigger.(not to mention that there were other players involved as well that probably would have caused heavier betting). (Needless to say my opponent wasn't real thrilled but even on one of my losing sessions, there was still a bright side there anyway). 4 POKER | ||
