My worst Bad Beat hands !!

[ak2009]

I was playing in a tournament $15 buy in $5 website charge. 90 players
with the top 15 being paid. Starting chip stack 1,500 .. I started the tourney out playing lose and firing at pots, because from experience I never want to be on the bubble.

I'd rather lose early than lose in 10th place. It stings too much, anyway, I was at about 1,200 chips.. with 65 players remained, blinds were at 100/200.. 4 players in the hand, with the BB raising 400 .

I had j10 offsuit, however like, I said I'd like to take risks with marginal hands knowing that everybody playing tight will only push with the nuts. One other player called behind me.

Flop j 10 9 .. two clubs, early position postures and bets 500 .. if I would have just called, I 'would be left with 1000 chips.

(Once I was under the 1300 mark I knew it was only a matter of time before I had to push with nothing so why not push with top 2 pair).

Player behind me instantly called. 1st raiser folded.. caller showed 7 8 os.. no 10 or j on the turn and river and I lost.

Was that bad luck or did I suck?

I don't know but it seems like whenever I pushed all in with two pair online it lost to a flush or str8. And when I call with a straight or flush I lose to a boat.

sorry you lost.. but that happens sometimes.. just keep on grinding and don't think to much about the results.. just keep on playing your A game and you will win again. *** bad beats but that the way it is..
