E & J’s Sports Grill: 11/23/2009 – 10pm Tournament

I just took one of the worst bad beats I can remember. It was so sick that I lost faith in poker. But then again, I felt that it was coming. You’ll see:

Tournament Result Summary:

  • Venue / City: E & J’s Sports Grill (Missouri City, TX)
  • League: Snowman Poker League
  • Day / Date: Monday, 11/23/2009
  • Game: 10pm Tournament
  • Rank: 9th place
  • Field: 12 players
  • Notes: I suffered a bad beat against Skip: Ace High Straight vs a Flush (explained below)_

Before I get to the bad beat story, I also want to mention that I crippled Mr. 2nd place of the Regional Championship out of a bluff. Skip eliminated him as well.

I swear, Skip is a calling station.  But he was also a former casino dealer and he runs private tournaments. He knows what he was doing.

But when Skip and I got into a big hand, it got really ugly.  Here’s a diagram of the hands we had:

Skip: 7♠ 8♠

Flop: A♠ 10♣ 9♠ | Turn: J♣ | River: 4♠

Me: Q K

At the turn: I had A♠ K Q J♣ 10♣ 
At the turn: Skip had: J♣ 10♣ 9♠ 8♠ 7♠


Skip went ALL-IN. I hesitated to call there for a moment, explaining that Skip had too many outs, including a flush draw. At that point, he knew I wasn’t able to chase a flush, even if I had a straight.  But too late, he was already ALL-IN. I called!!!

We flipped the cards, and he said “I have a straight!”
I said “So do I!” with a cocky claim that I had him.

I dealt all these cards, but I didn’t deal the river-card….  4♠

The River came out, I still had my Ace high Straight… A♠ K Q J♣ 10♣ (Broadway!)
The River came out, Skip caught a FLUSH, spades: A♠ 9♠ 8♠ 7♠ 4♠

He had me covered.  FML!

You couldn’t have folded what I had… No way…  I came in with a good hand, and I don’t feel too bad.  Besides, I had my run-ins with Skip before, and I pissed him off one time after eliminating him at the same venue. But tonight, it was his turn.

I got off on a good start with someone new in here.  I had pocket K’s and that guy kept on trying to bet me out of that pot.  The board didn’t have any draws… he had pocket 6’s.

Then after doubling up, Kim took most of my money… but I came back up and tightened up.

I saw Tom, get beat by Rezzz’s ALL-IN call, Quad Tens!

Had pocket KKs twice in a row, eliminating Dale.

I lost to Rezzz, a very long heads up match.

What did I get myself into. I took my NyQuil and I was getting ready to go to bed until I made a spontaneous decision to play with the X-Files Poker crew.

Well, I was doing alright, until I got KQ suited, hearts. The flop had two hearts, and  I went ALL-IN. My opponent flopped a straight with JT and the turn and the river didn’t show hearts. :(   He had me covered.
