Worst Bad Beat!

With the opening of my site I can share with you my first bad beat which just happens to be the most painful beat I have taken in 18 months of poker! Not because of the amount(it did sting though!) but because of the situation that took place for it to occur in the first place.

It was a 6 handed $2000 NL Holdem game and we all had full stacks!

Donkey raises UTG to $80, next folds, next minimum raises to $160. I am next, looking at AA, I wouldn't normally go all in here but for some reason I just pushed my entire $2000 stack into the center inexplicably expecting action. The first raiser proved me right instantly calling the $2000 as did the minimum raiser making it a $6000 pot before the flop (rare to say the least)!

At the Crpytologic network cards are turned face up when no more action can take place so you get to see the joy or pain of what you are up against before the turn and river are dealt. The flop was A25 rainbow so I had a set of aces. The first raiser starts crying in chat that he didn't mean to call the all in, which was obviously true as he had 89 and instantly called the all in(oops). The second all in had AK and was drawing dead to a runner runner split pot(lol).

Turn was the 7...

River was the 6 giving the accidental caller the nut straight and my $6000!

The pain was mighty, not only did I lose to runner runner straight here but the donkey had to accidentally call the all in for me to lose the pot!

I have a worse beat. I'm in big blind with K2 of clubs so I'm auto playing, this is in a 100$ sitngo on pacific poker.. flop comes 5c 7c 9c. Flush so I start betting a little and the guy raises and I re-raise big and he calls. I have King high flush so I'm fairly confident thinking he has a straight or lower flush maybe. Next card comes 10s, guy goes all in, I call, river is King hearts. We flip and he has 8c 6c. Straight flush...

Interesting, I just saw a post on another site labeled "SICKEST BAD BEAT IN HISTORY. THANK GOD IT WAS NOT ME!". The victim, also with AA, was named "TillerMaN" on Pokerstars. Is this you and can you confirm if this is true?

Judging from what you say in your current post "...just happens to be the most painful beat I have taken in 18 months of poker!" I have questions about the veracity of the hand from the other site.

I should have said worst "real" bad beat I have ever taken =)

That was faked about a year ago.
