Very entertaining recap of that memorable day (bad dealer delivered that Jack of Spades...JK Russel) I thought it was definitely picture worthy.. One comment on FaceBook was " Dude, a 9 beat you".

A bad beat, certainly from the "bad beat jackpot" point of view, just has to be one monster hand losing to a bigger monster hand.<br /><br />But what if the exact the same card that gives one person a monster gives the other player a bigger monster? That's exactly the scenario I described in a much earlier post, and I'll give the link back to that at the bottom of this comment.<br /><br />But the reason this current post isn't quite a classic bad beat story is that, while a set of Queens is a great hand and you expect it to win, you see sets lose to flushes and straights all the time. So, yes, I was kind of using poetic license to call this a bad beat. Still, anytime you see a hand as strong as a set of Queens lose the absolute best hand in poker, a hand you see once in a freakin' blue moon, I don't feel guilty about my post title.<br /><br />But last night, in a hand I will surely be blogging about soon, I saw a Royal beat Kings full of Ace's. Does that qualify as a bad beat? The same card made both hands.<br /><br />Anyway, here's the link to the earlier post I alluded to:<br /><br />http://robvegaspoker.blogspot.com/2011/09/olivia-she-wasnt-jack-off.htmlRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-84364200305095098022012-05-18T12:26:30.909-07:002012-05-18T12:26:30.909-07:00It's not as good as it sounds, trust me.It's not as good as it sounds, trust me.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-35510237360441582152012-05-18T12:04:01.721-07:002012-05-18T12:04:01.721-07:00Gotta agree with Anon - and by the way, that cat g...Gotta agree with Anon - and by the way, that cat gets around, doesn't he?
