What is your most embarrising win?
I was in a £10+£1 BH the other day and I really felt sorry for the player I knocked out. Just before the bubble.
I was dealt KK on the bb. I tried to raise it, but the mouse function on my laptop wouldn't work properly. Consequently it defaulted to check.
There were two other players still in and the flop did not scare me, so I raised double the pot. One player folded and the other player called.
On the turn it was showed 3J8J. I am thinking great two pair KK & JJ, so I raised to leave half my stack. The other player went all in I called. He shows 333JJ. I was sitting there thinking oh well I am out with two heads taken not bad. But if only my mouse had not stuck, I could have got my opponent to fold. Whilst thinking this a K drops on the river and I won.
I never got a chance to apologies to my opponent as it was a bad beat for him, but I was absolutely delighted.
It was the first time, I got the "bad win" normally, twice in the last week, losing to higher straight or full house, but I did feel bad for the other guy.

SB checks, BB bets twice min bet (75% pot) i call with top pair.

River - T
BB bets half pot. I raise all-in, happy with the pot size. BB calls and he had flopped the straight.
Blinds around 500/1000
Short stack on about 5k
me in cut off on about 40k,
Large stack on button approx 70k
Short goes all in , folded round to me, I see AQ suited, I raise to 20k
Button goes all in, and im sat there saying fold fold fold, and then I go and call.
Cards get turned over Short stack has pocket queens (oh dear)
Button has A K os (hmmm im in big trouble)
Im in trouble, flush or straightening cards please
Flop comes down
J J J
turn is a rag
river is a jack
So me and the button split the pot, so whilst not a true embarasing win, there was a mighty sigh of relief from me.
ended up finishing 3rd in tourny
