BAD BEAT SUCKOUTS

Some players just don't understand the difference between a bad beat and a bad beat suckout. A bad beat is when You have a strong player who knows by far he is ahead pre flop and pushes all in with AA in position against 2 players. As the big blind folds, that poor player in early position who limped in with 55 puts you on a pure bluff and makes the call with simular stacks. As he flips his hand over praying that you have 2 live cards, he comes to realize he's been looking down the barrel of a 12 gage shot gun...the whole time. The first thing he does is gets extreamly uspset with his decision making and his terrible instincts but mostly on the inside hidden behind his terrible poker face. As he begins to worship and congradulate you on your beautiful hand and grabs his belongings and stands up, he realizes the flop has just produce him a set of 5's. From there he knows it will take a miracle for AA to win and begins hooting and raving and doing everything to a "T" that a weak poker player does after getting lucky and making a bad call only to be rewarded.
And thats a bad beat.
A bad beat suckout is the senario as before but the only difference is after dodging 4 bullets ( 3 cards on the flop and 1 card on the turn) Kc, Qd, Jh, then the turn: 9s...now AA is about a 92% to 8% favor and nothing less than a miracle will help the underdog. As the crying call is heard throughout the room that last magical 5 that wasn't folded hits the river and game over for AA...now you have your self a bonified BAD BEAT SUCKOUT.

gl and watch out for those magical "BAD BEAT SUCKOUTS"

dude i hear that, theres nothing worse than a bad beat suckout, it seems to happen more often than not, thats the ONLY thing i dont like about internet poker is the inexperienced players who call raises with nothing all the way to the river and get lucky, gl to you and see you at the tables

Chillshot,
Im sure you are a very nice guy and love to play poker. But your interview with cardplayer was an embarrassment to the whole spade club community. You come off as very conceaded, arrogant and most importantly uneducated both in life and poker. You need to realize that, yes it is very cool to be the SPOY, but in the online poker community you are still playing in the minor leagues. Step into some live tourney's the preliminary events to all the wpt and wsop are good places to start. T

I've seen the bad beat suckout sooo many times here at SC, and it seems to me that the ones that get it the most are the white hands. Is this true, or is it just me thinking I've noticed that. Tell me what you think. I like the way you worded this blog, makes sense. Keep up the good work. And watch out for the haters. lol. GL. Ozzy

Thanls for the friend add. I really like the your blog as it has happened several times with me. usually though it is players with suited rags that do it to me like J6 Q8 95 and such and catch runner runner on the turn and river and crack my hand. Had a guy yesterday at local poker room beat my AA with 104 suited he caught a 10 on the flop I put him on that hand and bet pot to push him and he raised all in I called hoping he did not have pocket 10's well I was relieved when he showed the 10 4 an
