"Can I tell you a couple of hands for my stakers?" asked
Rupinder Bedi. "Sure, no problem," I replied, but little did I know that I was about to be on the receiving end of not one, but two bad beats. Nevertheless, I have developed a chin of steel and can soak up numerous bad beat stories without so much as a flinch.
Anyhow, back to Mr Bedi:
(1) At the 300/600 level, Rupinder had a player all in with A-J versus A-T, and although the first card out was the jack, it was followed by a king and queen to give his foe the flopped straight. This hand cost Rupinder 6,000.
(2) A few hands later and on the same blind level, Rupinder made a standard preflop raise with pocket rockets and received three callers. On the T-9-7 flop, one player shoved all in and Rupinder called. His opponent had A-7, and hit trips on the turn.
As a result, Rupinder has taken a dent or two in his bonnet and is now down to 30,000.
I will put a full report up tomorrow but I have one of the sickest days in a tourney ever. I could comfortably be going back with 100k
stack of 36k make it 2650 form hiijack with 1010. Mick McCool flats with about 10k behind and checks raises me all in on a J65 flop. He has K6
Turn 6
26k left. UTG makes it 4k out of a stack of 16 I set him all in from big blind. He has 10 10.
Ace high flop. 10 on turn.
Shove city up to 13k
fml.
One time!
