Floped set, lose to runner/runner quads twice

[DrStrange]

You know its going to be one of those times, when you lose to runner runner quads after floping a set twice in two days.

First hand (and worst hand) - Hero has T T Flop is 2 6 T turn is 6 river is 6.

Hero has the 2nd nut on the turn when all the money goes in, Villain tables 6 K for runner-runner quads. That was minus $600

Second hand Hero has T T Flop is K T 2, turn is K river is K. Villain is transparent enough that Hero knows he has the case king and thus avoids the final bet. Villain shows his K but not the meaningless side card. This was a cheeseburger stakes game, so it only cost $20

I was going to post one of my own bad beats, but I don't have any recent beats that really stack up. I will just throw in one of my favorite poker sayings:

Sometimes you just lose.


Sorry.

That is harsh, especially for it to happen twice in such a short period.

Reminds me of a hand from several years ago when we first started playing 1/2 at our home game. Up until then we'd been playing 0.25/0/50, $40 buy-in game. So even though the final pot size of almost $1000 wasn't outrageously huge by $1/2 standard, it was quite a bit more than we (at the home game) were used to seeing.

Hero had 99, raised to $12, one called. Flop was 982.

Hero checks, Villain bets $25, Hero raises to $100, Villain goes all-in for about $450 total.

Hero has the nuts, so he obviously calls. Villain tables A8 for middle pair and a backdoor flush draw.

Turn is the :8. River is the 8. Villain takes the pot with runner-runner quads. Granted he also could have won with runner-runner aces or runner-runner hearts, but it was still a terrible beat nonetheless.

Happened Friday for me as well. 66 flop is 10,9,6 money is all in and J9 hits running 99
