Bad Beat Week

The week of bad beats continues:

Tonight: 45-player SNG, $11, pays six. With eight left, I raise under the gun with kings. Big blind calls. Flop comes queen high. BB bets, I shove, he calls and rolls over Q9. Turn is 9. I'm out two spots short of the money (and would have been third in chips).

Last night: 45-player SNG, $11, pays six. Went out shortstacked shoving from button with A4 (BB had AQ). But lost a huge pot when I got all in with QQ vs. AQ. Rivered with an ace.

A few nights earlier: Put $10 into a mini-stakes cash game. Got it all in on the flop with KK vs. 74 (yes, 74 ... and I didn't slow play) after the guy flopped a four. Turn is harmless. River is a 4. Pot was $31.

There have been more, but I can't find all the hand histories. It all started in that tournament where I finished fifth of 313 after getting it in on the turn against the chip leader as an 87-13 favorite and then getting rivered.

The poker gods hate me. But they always seem to change their minds eventually.
