Here's how it works:

Got a poker F* you to send to someone? Simply contact me with your worst poker beat or best poker brag. I'll decide what goes up and when. I'll certainly credit you if you'd like.

You can email me or leave a comment on this blog. In your message, include the name you'd like to be credited with (if you want to be identified or linked) and the [all important] hand history. Please make all names in the hand history anonymous, with the exception of the donkey if you want to call out the person who put the beat on you.

We're looking for weird hands, truly bad sh*t, or busting poker pros in awesome ways. Just because you got your AA cracked doesn't mean squat. But if you got your set of Aces cracked to an all in non-paired opponent on the flop with no [obvious] draws and he runner runners the winning hand, well then, now we're talking. Bust Phil Ivey in a tourney? Easy brag! Bust Phil Helmuth? Who hasn't? No brag for you!

A pretty bad beat... AA vs. AK leads to a chop:

Not me directly, thought it cost me $1.  This totally sucks though - you get the ideal situation (AA vs. AK, not even AA vs. a pocket pair...  there's less equity here), and you still don't win the hand:

Brag #2 - Knocking out 5 people in one hand


It's always cool to knock people out of tournaments.  How cool is it when you can knock 5 out of 9 players out with the same hand?  Knocking 5 people out at once after the flop. No clue what the BB was doing in this hand.
