Here’s a slightly different variation on the bad beat story: the author is the one PUTTING the bad beat on. In this particular instance, the recipient of the two beats in the story is none other than myself.
So from the mouth of Durden (who owns rights to the hand 3-5 off at our local game) […]
Here’s the winning bad beat story from Jereme Dean. This is a tournament bad beat, but it’s two in a row, so that makes it just a little grosser:
I am playing a tourney at Full Tilt to advance to a bigger tourney for a spot on Poker After Dark. I am playing well and changing […]
Here’s a pretty cold beat story from Dan Port, winner of second place in our bad beat contest, to receive a World Poker Tour gift pack including a backpack, deck of cards, keychain and a few other small things. From Dan:
Anyway, this happened online while I was still in my
first year or so playing on […]

So, in looking at Jamie Gold and the way he basically talked himself out of losing another $150k, which is definitely his only obvious poker talent, annoying as it is, I remembered a pretty strange instance of table talk that happened at a home game I go to a while back.
Basically, two players ended up […]
I’ve seen some pretty ridiculous hands in poker, on TV and live, but this fifteen minute back and forth between Sam Farha and Jamie Gold on High Stakes Poker might be simultaneously the most ridiculous and rather annoying bunch of table talk ever.
How Jamie Gold still has any of his $10 million, I have no […]
Too fat from 3 dinners to think about playing cards. Instead zoning out to High Stakes Poker downloaded on my computer and wondering when I’ll have enough blood going to my brain to think clearly again.
Winners of the Bad Beat contest will be announced Monday… so come back then to check it out.
And it’s not […]
Here’s a lesson I learned last night: when the dealer suggests you do something, you DO IT.
Last night I had a pretty weak run of luck. Lost a $100 buy in at one table by missing several raised flops and then getting sucked out for a decent sized pot where I went all in preflop […]
SO, just came from my local 1/2 game. Bought for a hundred doubled up in the first hour off a donk betting every hand and stood with my pair of fives on the flop to put him all in on the flush draw. Won.
Then got into another hand about 30 minutes later. Big blind in […]
So usually, when I’m playing at our local home game, I tend to push my big hands before the flop pretty hard, trying to minimize the suck out factor. I’ll usually raise 5 to 6x the big blind with KK or AA, trying to minimize the action to one player at most, because I don’t […]
