Without discussing stack sizes I can’t really say. The first one is a little worse. Personally I can’t stand to hear whiny bad beat stories anyway. Just because you think you should win doesn’t mean you should. Typically, although do is tell you how to play against the whiner.

Definately story #1, at least in #2, the callers had something to play with, where as in story #1, the opponent called with absolutely nothing, an ace with basically no kicker. Ridiculous.

I am going with #2. I think the raise with the tens would have been happy if everyone folds. The kings would prefer someone to call and hope for an ace free flop. After the flop the quad 10 had the nuts at that point in time in the hand. The kings full could have been beaten by quad fives hence #2

That one is really tough to pick, both of them went runner-runner. I think I am going with story #1 because the guy came along for the ride with absolutely nothing, I mean did he think his Ace high card was the difference in the hand? At least with story #2 the players had hands, still very sick though. Jim Ls last blog post..The one tip that helped me play better no limit holdem this week.

Perfect example of being “Street3′d”

Bad beat Story #2 because the odds of losing with Quad 10′s has to be huge.
