First Post

Hey everyone what's up I'm new to cardschat. Now i'm not the type to go on and on about bad beats but check this out.....


so i did the survey thing to get the free 5 bucks from noble poker, and I'm in a 1$ SNG... we're 3 handed and some guy is going all in every single hand, and im getting total rags. Well I finally decided to take a stand with 5/5 and he flips Q/10, coinflip right? WELL.... the first 4 cards on the board were all KINGS and i get outkicked. UNREAL.

on a side note, the bad beats on noble poker seem UNBELIEVABLE. never seen anything like it before in 2 years of online poker, i cant even list them all from only 4 hours of play. and when i say bad beat i mean BAD beat, just horrible.

Taking your first two posts into consideration, I beg to differ.

If I told you how many times low pocket pair got beaten by rediculous circumstance, you'd would die of natural causes before I got a chance to finish.

But welcome to the Cardschat anyways

Hey Fish the only reason I posted that is because it was the ONE and only time i've ever seen the board make a 4 of a kind, thought i'd share it see if it happened to anyone else. Alright man?

lol, testy...

He was just pointing out the obvious.

"I'm not one to complain, but man that sucked"

I've seen the board have 4 Aces before... I was sitting there with pocket Kings, and initially I was wondering if the remaining Ace was going to take all my chips... then I saw the last one and knew I was OK... I think I turned out to be against pocket Jacks. I think that's the only time I've seen 4 of a kind on the board so far.
It doesn't really qualify as a bad beat if you're all-in before the flop - you were only a marginal favourite with 5's. If someone is going all-in every hand then you have to pick something better than 5's to play with - AK, AQ, even AJ or AT if it's literally every hand, or the real premium pocket pairs, otherwise you're condemning yourself to a coin flip, generally with all your chips on the line rather than all his. Even with AK you'll go out more often than you'd like - only AA, KK or QQ would be likely to be solid favourites, but at least you'd have a noticeably better than even money chance with 2 overcards to his rather than an underpair.

Welcome to the forum, though.

I don't get it. You lost a coinflip, it happens, whether it be by a Q flopping or a KKKKx board.
