My first bad beat? QQ pre against TT

Most of you guys will probably laugh at me, but this is the first hand I have played which I have called a bad beat. I've lost hands with a pot which is very large in relation to the big blind, but it has always been a poor play on my part.

I think this one is different.

First session on Party Poker and Poker Tracker does not like my hand histories and neither does the hand history convertor. SO sorry about the narrative, guys.

The table was really loose and I had not played any hands. This was a big reason for joining Party Poker!

I was dealt QQ on the BB. Villain was UTG.

He raised to 6x BB. It folded to me after that and I raised to 21x BB. More than I intended, but I'm finding the slider bar a bit funny!

BB went all-in taking it just under 30x BB. Course he may have had a better pair of cards in the hole, but I figured that his range was pretty broad, even with him re-raising me. And he was all-in, so nothing to worry about on the flop or after. Just wait fir the cards...

T77 on the flop. The turn and the river turned out to be unimportant because our villain had TT in his pocket. Git.

I tried to level the tilt out by noting vitriolic filth about the grade A a-hole in my player notes. Plus the fact that he is obviously a noob doomed to donate for the rest of his poker-playing career. That sort of thing. Made me feel better.

Subject to your collective wisdom I would have played it that way again. So, bad beat rather than idiot play. I'm seeing this as progress!

STFU Easy Poker. Take your douchebaggery to another forum, plz. It's obvious Bee's a beginner. Bee, standard hand vs a short stack. Reload and move on.

Happens all the time man. Don't sweat it, this situation makes you more money than it loses. Note the next time you suck out on someone to show yourself that luck swings the other way too.

BTW you will lose this hand 1 out of 5 times.... there are way worse beats than this.

eventually you#ll get it in bad and win too
i#m uncertain as to your relative positions etc, but, nice hand. You got your money in as 80% favourite. Keep doing that a lot and you#ll make some money! it#s sometimes difficult to understand what losing 1/5 times means. It means you lose sometimes. That#s why bankroll management etc

smiling and/or laughing when this happens does wonders for your mindset

if i am not mistaken ,daven lost KK flopped quads to a runner runner royal flush on the river , so if there is the posibility to lose the hand, you will lose it sometimes but the lower the posibility the bigger your winnings will be.
what daven means , i think ,is that you should be more worried if you have the equity vs his all range rather then one particuar hand.

Nh. You'll suffer worse, over and over again. It's very positive that you didn't ask, "Did I make the right call" etc.

yes, as baudib said this is just the beginning. at a certain point you'll start shrugging these off like nothing happened. still, your emotional discipline will be definitely be tested when you lose a ton of these in a single session, or when you keep running bad for weeks, months....

Just so you can await it with eager anticipation the worst beats percentage wise require two specific cards runner runner on the turn and river. It's a fraction of 1%. I've seen this a few times over the years, including one on a WPT final table TV show.

The mother of them all may be T9 suited where the flop is 876 for the straight flush, and the high end at that. But the opponent holds 2 high cards in the same suit and hits the runner runner royal.

No.... you can't lose if you flop the high end of a straight flush. You block your opponent from getting a better straight flush with only 2 cards left to come. Maybe you're thinking of holding 98s and flopping a straight flush with T76? Then a hand like AKs has a tiny chance.

Thanks guys!

I knew it would barely count as a bad beat to the more experienced. I picked up the write venomous shit about the villain in his notes from another poster - it is a great tip!
