freeroll tourny at poker metro
14 players 21k in chips total
$100 pot 1st=$65 2nd=35$ i came 3rd $0

my last hand 10(clubs) Ace(clubs) 8(clubs) on the flop
i had Queen(clubs) and 6(clubs) GOT A FLUSH :-)
turn is a 9(clubs) got a straight flush draw
by now we are both ALLIN (8.5k chips)
and now i see they have a king(clubs)
they got my flush beat :-(
just my luck the one club that could beat me and they have it.
now the river comes and it's a jack, but it's a heart it's not the club i needed it to be for the straight flush

what makes it worse is that earlier in the tourny A,Q suited they had K,J
i made 2 pair aces and queens and the river is a 10 and gives them a straight
we were heads up from the flop and the pot got to 5k

i just missed out on the $25 bounty as well, so so close

When keep playing weak hands like Q6s and Q10s expect to get beat. Unless you are short stacked (in which case you would push all in) then there is really no need to play these risky hands.

there was only 3 players left most of the flops only cost the big blind, it is cheap to see the big blind when your in for the small blind
most of my chips went in on the flop when i hit the flop
the rest went in on the turn, with the only club that could beat me being the king.

in any future bad beat posts i will be sure to put in every little detail so there is nothing left for you to pick apart

Being the bubble boy has to suck. It never happened to me. Sorry to here the bad news. Hope you have better luck next time.

Or you could just post a hand history like every other normal person in this thread. If you can't handle having your shit criticized then leave give us all the details so you don't look like such a dipshit. For all I know it could of been raised 10x the BB by the button when you were the small blind and you called. Dumb ass.
