Bad beat but happy ending

I just took a bad beat - I won't bore you with details but it was a standard two-outer being hit on river after chips went in on the turn.

After thinking it was a poor play I checked out their Sharkscope and now I'm going to bed happy knowing playing like that doesn't get rewarded in the long term.

I don't check Sharkscope often but I've never seen such a nice straight line over so many games. Has anyone got better examples?

    Hi mate,

    I played a hand against you in the £33 BH on thursday night, it was in the later stages, blinds were 400/800 with one UTG limper, i raised in the CO to 3200 & you shoved in the BB for about 16000, its been bugging me can i ask what you had ??????? pretty pleeeeeeeease lol

    Dont think i will get a good nights sleep until i get an answer lol :)

    I had AK but did not need a race at best at this stage.

    Lol. I would have thought you'd have played enough games (and made enough profit!) on here not to get too bothered about a one-off hand. I guess it was near to bubble(?) 

    Anyway, you're right, it would have been a coinflip and I was just ahead. I guess mathematically after putting your 3200 in the pot you had the odds and should have called? I appreciate the respect you gave me by folding.

    I don't know how to properly post a hand history but this screen grab, once approved, will show you it was JJ....

    As my image hasn't been approved (not sure why as name isn't shown) I thought I'd draw what it looks like so my post has some meaning.

    Basically, over 8000 games the player has made over $20,000 loss :-o

    The photo has been approved, I can see it.

    I don't understand how anyone can lose that much. I would just give up, it can't be fun if you're 20k down.
