    was running out of chips got 8 8 so though all in

    hit 8 on flop and though YES with 2 callers to my all in and chip leader hits a straight!!

    the board didnt look like someone had made the straight.

    just ran the odds through my i phone app

    i was 80% ahead after the flop too!


    just feel like i have no luck anymore.

    Strangely preflop the KJ suited was the favourite at just under 40%, you were second fave at just over 31% and the QT is just under 29% to win.

    That was one nasty board to see checked down mate.

    Pre Flop:  KJ - 39.11%   Q10 - 28.94%   88 - 31.62%  (0.33% for split)
    Flop:  KJ - 5.76%   Q10 - 15.06%   88 - 79.18%

    It's one of those annoying situations where you'd love KJ to protect their hand and move in on the flop but pretty standard to check it down! You've got four over cards to avoid hence only being 31% pre flop and once they're guaranteed to see all streets, your 8's will be doing well to hold up - it's harder to take as you've flopped set and gone near 80% favourite to win but unfortunately it's one of those times where Q10 and their 29% hit!

    Edit: Sorry I'd started to reply before Tommy's post!

    "sometimes lifes not fair"

    Some people get ill with horrible diseases, some people get brutally murdered by their own husband/father because he's having a bad time at work, and then there's poker 'bad beats'....

    Chin up mate, we all get a bit of bad luck now and again. I was having a terrible run the other week but i hit a hand that really lifted my spirits. I had a small stack so shoved with A8 suited and one player called and showed KK(Kevin Keegan). The flop was K88 so i stood up ready to go and make a coffee but i managed to nail an A on the turn and river. Happy days. :-)

    Stick to your game and i'm sure you'll get some good luck soon.

    Unlucky there Mr donkey poo :). but if the situations were reversed and you hit your straight...........

    Anyway, don't let it get you down, put it out of your mind and good luck at the tables in the future mate!

    And just to put things into perspective, I had a few days off playing poker to chill out after a bad run......entered 3 B/H' s last night and went out of every one with the best hand pre/post flop but outdrawn every time. I am getting used to them by now but it is still a gutter..... BUT IT HAPPENS TO US ALL SO MOVE ON AND UPWARDS!!!!

    You must have posted tis just before your 6 3 turned over my Q 6 when we both hit 6 on the flop and you got 33!!! I dont bear grudges though (even though I am running so bad this evening). Good luck tonight.

    I was playing a live game the other day and the blinds were large, everyone folded, I had AA, limped on the small blind, the big blind went all-in on a steal with Q5.

    Flop came

    6 - 2 - 4

    He then said, "oh a 3 would be nice"

    Turn came a 3 (naturally)

    River was an ace

    I felt pretty ill,

    Next hand I was relatively crippled, but picked up QQ

    I shoved trying to look weak and on tilt, he called with J8 and rivered 2 pair

    Poker sucks sometimes :(
