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!

Bad beat #1 - Quads over quads

Taken from a  post on Just the Facts..., omgitsjoshua catches a real beatdown...

Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 6 players
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

Hero (BTN): $53.90
SB: $129.65
BB: $54.95
UTG: $25.10
MP: $90.30
CO: $50.00

Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BTN with Jc Js
UTG raises to $1.50, MP calls $1.50, 1 fold, Hero calls $1.50, SB calls $1.25, 1 fold

Flop: ($6.50) Qd Jh Jd (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, MP checks, Hero checks
Crafty Josh plans to let the villain "get there" so that he can get his stack in the middle... DO I REALLY NEED COMMENTARY ON THIS?

Turn: ($6.50) Qs (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, MP checks, Hero bets $3, SB folds, UTG folds, MP calls $3

River: ($12.50) 8s (2 players)
MP bets $5, Hero raises to $49.40 all in, MP calls $44.40

Final Pot: $111.30
Hero shows Jc Js (four of a kind, Jacks)
MP shows Qc Qh (four of a kind, Queens)
MP wins $108.30
(Rake: $3.00)
For those of you who can't read, that would be 4 of a kind over 4 of a kind. This is a bad beat by definition. Maximum suckage - I propose a moment of silence in reverence to Josh... please everyone bow their heads when they read this, and give the man your best wishes of luck in the future.*

*Selfish me says thank God it wasn't me on the end of the beat-down stick.

  1. heh. I have had that happen ONCE in my entire online career and beleive it or not I knew he had Quads and I knew I should have folded. I actually did call because I am stupid.

    Mine was Kings over Queens. QQK flop. I call his bet. I know he has a set of kings. 2 turn. Call him again of course. River K. I am like FRAK! He bets again and I call like a moron.
