Not a bad beat post per se, but damn, when does the best hand ever stand up these days?
Full Tilt UK freeroll, 1000 players.
1st hand of final table after I was in the chip lead for most of the final 30, playing most of these guys for the last hour. They all know now that I play nothing but the best hands because I fold 20 in a row before doing anything.
So now, I'm first to act after three folds with AJ and get called by KQ. Flopped the J and was golden until the river A pairing me up gave him a straight.
This hand beats me just about every tournament, last night it was my AA with an ace on the river that gave the other guy with KQ a straight. Two nights in a row the exact same hand.
Anyway, this was a great tourney for me overall...

I know how you feel, have just got back in from a Hom game tourney, had AQs lose to k7o, Aks, lose to JTs, and 66 lose to A2, none of them are massive bad beats, but I just couldn't hold up tonight.
Oh well variance must be looking towards me next time
How did the betting go? AJ vs KQ is 60/40 pf and after the flop he's open ended with two overs and a backdoor flush so it all depends on the betting.
I was first to act with no one yet in the pot. I pushed all in preflop and he called.
As I was thinking about this one, I can remember only one or two times in the past two months of these nightly tournies where I went all in with the worst hand. Every other time I had the odds in my favor yet have gotten knocked out everytime by a worse hand. So much for mathematical variance catching up to me.

Unfortunately the nature of donkaments means that when you're getting your money in good 60/40 or even 70/30 PF, you're expected to lose at least 1 in 4/5.
And where in a donkament is usually for your whole tournament life - in cash you're already 4 buy ins up by that point...
