I hardly think pocket 8's losing to pocket 7's is the "bad beat of the year" Mr Munky!
Yeah, he needed runner runner perfect perfect, but if we analyse it properly, it is just an overpair being beaten, & happens to all of us, every day. HOW it happened is of no consequence, & cannot aiud iour leaqrning. We got it in good, we lost, next case.
Come play some PLO or PLO8, we'll show you some proper bad beats. The players rarely moan though, it's the nature of the game.
Heads up all-in
Me 2 2 (quack!!) vs A K
Cards came down A A K 2 2
if you had 77 on this run out, and he 88 it would have still gotten in on the flop.
this time you had 88, unlucky.

incidently you will save yourself mucho anguish if you learn to view these coolers as flips.
AQ v AJ 12bb deep. its going in no matter who has the AQ. if the J spikes, ce la vie. you are 50/50 to have either hand anyway.
run KK into AA on the bubble, soooo unfair. but you were equally as likely to have the AA as KK.
dont worry about what happens after the money goes in.
see coolers as flips
you will enjoy the game much more.
if you had 77 you would have GII on this flop.
THIS time you had the 88 and was on the wrong side of the coin.
other times you will hold the AJ that beats AQ 12bb deep
or hold the AA that beats KK 20bb deep, noone did anything wrong, the action was inevitable and THIS time you happened to be dealt the losing hand of the cooler.
you post a LOT of bad beats. we all have them you will enjoy playing much more if you let them go and not fixate on them. 99% of bad beat stories are REALLY unintersting and involve completely standard actions.
your results will likely improve too if you focus on the quality of decisions rather than the luck of outcomes
good luck
Luck comes in all shapes and sizes and isn't relative to 1 street. It's like when people call a 4bet with 47o against AA, get it in on K47r and then complain when a king turn makes them lose the hand like they were realy unlucky, ignoring the fact they were about 50to1 to outflop AA in the first place. As Teddy said, if it's a situation where all the money is going in regardless then you'll be on both ends of it. Getting KK v AA late in an MTT is pretty brutal... so is getting AA v KK, just not for you.
If it goes in pre like it should then you lose an 80/20. Fwiw, if you aint jamming I even prefer limping along to minraising here, I think minraising after the limp from these stacks is the worst possible play
flop is 338.
money goes in.
you were just as likely to be mr 88 as mr 77.
dont worry about it.
treat it as a flip.

coolers are flips. the money is going in no matter what.
the board runs out in favour of one player or another.
it doesnt matter which player you are, you are not outplaying nor being outplayed.
you will be dealt the winning hand in coolers as often as the losing one.
dont worry about it
treat it as a flip

you've posted that many beats that even 'perfect perfect' is positively prosaic
let them go.
they shouldnt be interesting to you, let alone others.
i was victim to perferct perfect on the bubble of a sat on here [KK v 33, xxK33 runout]
the lad who put that beat on me was, less than a week later, whining that his KK was cracked.
whining.
coolers are flips. treat them that way and you will not get fixated on run-outs and dumb luck.
repeat: beats shouldnt be interesting to you, let alone others.
The fact he also had running fours for a chop means your outpipped for bad beat of all time though.
I realise you wasn't really talking about this hand specifically aswell and just trying to explain the concept.
Gotta agree with munky, jingle and cardu.
If ever a hand was worthy of posting in bbv, it's this 1.
Otherwise why bother having a bbv at all. It's THE worst possible beat in nlhe.
Couldn't happen to a nicer munky
