This first one is the worst beat I've had PERIOD. I'm dealt JJ on the button in the first hand of a tournament. 3-4 callers and I raise to 100 (10/20 blinds). I get one caller, and the flop comes 888. She bets 60, I raise to 200, she pushes. I think for a little bit, but knowing she called my preflop raise I call. She flips 66. Turn 6. River 6. I had to point out to people that I was still winning after the turn 6 because the 3 8s were higher. Everyone at the table went crazy after the river.

Second ones not so bad. JJ (again), this time in early position. Again I make it 100, and I get 2 callers. Flop JTQ (2 diamonds or hearts, can't remember). the big blind goes all in (barely having me covered) and I call. He flips over AT, for an inside straight draw and a pair of 10s, and I flip over my set. Turn 7. The guy who's dealing glances at the river card and just looks at me and I know what's coming. King on the river, and I'm out again.

Anyways, just thought I'd share these hands. I don't really think I misplayed them but the runner runner 6s was surreal, especially since I was dealing that hand.

Wow - my condolences. In your first hand above, you experienced the theoretical after-the-flop "worst beat" possible in holdem. With no straight flush draw available (after the flop), the individual with the pocket sixes had a 1/990 probability of winning - she hit a 989:1 shot. Bummer.

Yeah... I even said something along the lines of her being less than 1% to win. Haha, a bunch of people from my work were at the game and that hand was all we talked about all day. (Well, that and the fact that someone took 20 bucks out of the prize pool of the last tournament)

That is tough.. Sorry to hear man!
