bad beat or beaten badly?
ok poker fans we continue our 2017 season in another small stakes limit hold 'em game in a casino that i will keep anonymous.
i end up winning $21 in this game but suffer a bad experience that i always worried would happen.
we're about 2/3 of the way through the session when i fold a small pocket pair to a raise.
had i called here i would've flopped a boat, rivered quads, AND LOST THE HAND to flopped quads.
in this casino, at this particular time, this would've paid me a bad beat jackpot of slightly more than $30,000.
certainly not "life changing" money but enough to keep my spirits up. i always thought i'd go numb if (when) this happened and i was mildly surprised that i didn't feel much of anything. this particular "loss" however when combined with my overall bad run and declining benefits at the casinos would ultimately dampen my enthusiasm for the game.
thank you for reading.
