It happened at BetFred Poker a lil' while ago.

Went all in with pocket rockets (As) for over 1200 chips. Some lugnut called.........with J-9 offsuit. He caught 2 pair on the flop and I got KOed.

Sorry I ain't got logs to prove this..........but, I'd say it was a bad beat. lol

Just curious, who else has had rockets backfire on ya?

people have no reason to call an all-in preflop with those type hands. but i bet it was a freeroll. that type stuff happens so much more in those. people just try and get lucky. my pocket AAs got hit also, the other day at BetFred. not as bad a beat, but similar. he called Q-10 off suit, and caught a Q and 10.

Marino

oh, and by the way. the chip amount was for about 4,000. so i couldnt believe he called.

Well, it's happened to me at REAL MONEY tables. I raised all in with cowboys for $4. Some nut called with A-9 offsuit........and got lucky. So, you'll see it at real money tables as well.

thats sucks man. you had the best hand, but its poker. but over the long haul you will come out on top playing that hand exactly the same.

RobertSearcy

Yeah, it's just poker. Oh well. At least I was using the house's money and not my own. :-D

hi

what your not saying is what stage the torni at and the chip count
cos i play betfred quite a lot and in the large fields if you fallen behind
the big stacks can call with crap knowing most the time they'll hit there cards
Ive been both side of the coin winning and losing
i try playing the program players and the stack count then come the cards lol

The blinds were 10 and 20 at the time....it was pretty early in the tourney, IIRC.

I think each of us has lost with the grand ole' pocket rockets...just the way the cards flop sometimes.
