Flush
As anyone who plays this game, I'm positive that we all have a few bad beat stories, no matter how much money was in the pot.
The worst I've read Texas Hold'em, a guy with pocket J's, see the flop come 2-2-J, dream flop right? then the turn is a 2, no problem, all the money goes in and 1 caller.
The river is a 2, so 4 of a kind on board, and the guy turns over a A-K to win. This one is really bad, because by rights, the guy should have folded A-K, but sometimes, we all fall in lust with A-K hole cards, and hard to fold.
Mine isn't quite that dramatic, but a bad beat none the less.
Playing Omaha, I have A-Q of diamonds and Q of Hearts and 2 of spades for my hole cards. 8 players, 4 left after my raise on the the betting pre flop.
Flop comes 5 and 7 of diamonds and 8 of clubs. I'm feeling pretty good, no pair on board, and nut flush possibilty, possible straight by other players, but raise the pot, get 2 callers.
Turn card is a Q of spades. I now have trip queens, and also chasing a diamond so I raise half pot, one of the guys folds, the other calls, now head to head.
The river comes, 3 of diamonds. No worries, no pair on board, I have improved my hand to a nut flush, i can beat the straight or a smaller flush.
I raise pot, and almost instantly, the guy goes all in... I can't call quick enough.
The guy turns over the 4 and 6 of diamonds, for a straight flush...WOW!!!! That is why I got to hate playing Omaha, as the river card usually brings bad news to the unsuspecting.
