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.

I had a sick one once. I 4-bet and get called preflop. I have QQ. Other guy calls, and flop comes 37Q. I c-bet and he shove all in. I obviously instacall. He shows 88.

This could be the winner.
 
Played in a tourney at @MrCatPants house last week. I'm BB with 10-5. No raises. Flop comes 10 10 5. One bet, I call. 4th street comes rag. One bet, I raise, he shoves, I call. He turns over A 10 and shrugs. River comes Ace. womp womp.

My version of this was almost at bad - at least mine, villain started with an overpair. I have 66. Flop 662. I lead small on flop, he jams all in, I call. Shows 10 10. Turn and river 10s.

The new leader of bad beats...losing with 4 of a kind would sting...ouch
 
On the very last hand of a timed cash game, I had a royal flush once when a Jc came on the river to beat my buddy when that J gave him a full house. He said he had me on a flush with that card, had me beaten, thus his all in play.
I guess we give bad beats as well as receiving more, or so we claim.
 
I remember in a cash game getting it all in pre AK vs @MikesDad AA and flopping 2 kings. He didn't even look angry after that hand, just very tired.

I guess not a river BB story but all of the $$ went in before the bad beat.
 
I push those kind of memories out of my head. Having the nuts against a very strong second hand is what you always want, until the river crushes your nuts.
 
Hardly that much of a bad beat given it was only about a $40 pot, but for some reason it stays in my head. 5c/10c, I open to 75c with 88, my friend who barely plays raises to $2, I make it about $5 and he calls. Hit the dream flop and it's something like 8TX with two diamonds. He says 'I know you're just going to go all-in and I'll call so I'll do it first'. Obviously I call, and he turns over AxQd. Beautiful, I'm way out in front, he needs a turn and river to catch up. Runner runner diamonds and he scoops. Sometimes you get exactly the play you want from your opponent and it doesn't matter. Think I ended down about 500BB that night from one or two other bad beats...

Had a similar one a couple sessions ago. Decent pot I think about $120 ish.

Limp pot, I checked in the BB with :8d::4d:. Flopped :8h::6h::4s:, turned :8c: to fill up. River was :th:. Sweet, all the straight and flush draws get there. Got it all in.




Villain unfortunately hit both both at the same time :cry:

Those limped pots are dangerous aren't they :LOL: :laugh:
 
~$900 pot, 3 players, 2 of us all-in pre-flop for about $300 each
Flop: KTx
Turn x
River: J
Player 1 (all-in) turns over QQ
I'm all-and turn over AK
3rd player who called $300 cold proudly turns over Q9o for rivered straight and proudly announces "Nobody makes that call"

Duh..
 
So, not a river bad-beat per say, but I was playing 4-handed 5 Card Draw Hi only, no wilds. At showdown, I turn over Aces and Eights (ominous, I know. The dealer even mentions it's the Dead Man's Hand.) The player to my left, who I'm pretty sure I don't want to win, shows four 9 nines. The player to my right, who I don't think I want to win but I'm not entirely certain at this point, (out of turn) tables a royal flush. The dealer, sitting across from me, who I definitely know I don't want to win, slowly rolls over four deuces, so maybe I'm okay, Royal Flush guys wins. But wait, dealer rolls over his last card, a 2nd 2 of clubs for 5 of a kind! FML! Four of a Kind guy is considerate enough to call the dealer a cheating bastard, otherwise I might not have known. Anyway, I end up murdering the dealer right there in his own club and eventually having a neutral relationship with Royal Flush guy (after saving his dog) and rekindling an old friendship with 4 of a Kind guy, even though I went on to shoot him twice and he ended up killing me after I paid off all his debts. Not your typical runner-runner story.

Not really a bad beat, but, stung a lot anyway. Decent cash game, I get delt pocket aces late and shove after a couple of raises. SB calls, everyone else folds. We both flip over AA. Board comes out xxx, all clubs. I don't have a club, turn is red, river is a club. Started out thinking I was taking down a decent pot with no action to thinking I would chopping, to praying to any god that would listen that I didn't get pricked by the board. It was very early and I'd lost my entire roll for the night. That one still stings me.

There is a very little difference between win and loose, victory and defeat, just a side you are on
Crushing card on the river is a ray of heavenly sunshine to your opponent
