Plays you are guaranteed in poker when you find yourself in the middle of a bad run. Feel free to add your own!

1. When you get dealt pocket Kings, an ace will inevitably get flopped.

2. You fold your pocket pair on the flop only to watch as your set hits on the turn.

Your flopped A-high str8 will get busted by a freak full house on the river.

You flop a wheel out of the big blind and lose to middle postion playing with the all-impressive 64o who catches on the river.

You bet $2.50 into a $5 pot in NL with top pair and a medium kicker, knowing you're best, and some moron who's board after the flop is 10/7/6/3/2 with no flush draw calls the bet and catches 66 on the turn and river.

You flop the nut straight with a straight flush draw and cap the flop and turn. The river pairs the board and the player with a set grin as he drags it.

....You're playing hold-em and your dealt A-A and flop quads!

The pot is HUGE, there's 7 callers, with capped betting on every round.

Your hand is still "good" at the river, but when you go to turn it up...........you realize that you were dealt 2 Aces.......of the SAME SUIT!


Now that 's running bad.

You flop 10 to A straight, only to get beaten by a flush on the river.

And the guy with the flush had 2 8.

Slick, here is my favorite:

You have AK (Big Slick, if you will), raise preflop and get 3 callers. You get a flop of Q-J-x rainbow, get checked to you, raise and all 3 callers stay in. After taking beating after beating you know you are beat to QT, JT, Q9, KQ or whatever, so you give up the bluff, and check. Blank on the turn, one caller bets, the others call you fold.

Then of course the T spikes on the river.

Always happens when I border on the tilt.

actually the other night on UB, I had 2c-5c in the big blind, saw the flop for free and flopped the nut straight only to be busted by 8-8 runner with a guy holding 8-3offsuit. He just checked and called my raises all the way down and hit the boat.

That was my best one recently.

Arrrgggghhhhh.

Still ended up with a winning session though after being down big early.
