My full house gets beaten by an ace

#1 June 15th, 2016, 5:08 PM

I went out playing in the online tourney last night with this hand and I have to say I never even thought about this happening. I was going to post in the bad beats section (because I think it was a bad beat, but be interested to know if others agree) but anyway I did learn something so I'm posting here instead. I had pocket 9's and called a raise pre flop. Heads up. the flop came 5 5 and I think the other card was a 3. The other player bet I think it was about half the pot and having 2 pairs I called. Another 5 came down on the turn which gave me a full house. The other player went all in and I though ok if he has a higher pair he has me beat but I'm not folding so I called. He showed Ace 2 and I thought great he was bluffing I've won. Then unbelievably another 5 comes on the river making four 5's on the board and he beats my full house with a single Ace, because the Ace plays. I must say I thought for a moment it could at least be a split pot because we both had four 5's but apparently the Ace played. Oh well.

You had a full house on the turn.

On the river, you both had quad 5s. You with 55559 and your opponent with 5555A.

You didn't lose with a full house, you lost with quads vs quads because kicker plays.

Amanda, that's called bad luck! seems like your opponent was bluffing, but got very luck with te quad 5's on the table and Ace kicker! Keep playing, chances of getting 4 equal cards on the table again are 1 in a biljion.

Thanks Lexie! Yes, you are right. Actually one of the things I like about poker is the twists and turns. Almost anything can happen and sometimes does. My full house gets beaten by an ace

Yup, in some cases all that is needed is an A in the hole as a kicker, because the nut is already on the board. Kickers are something you should pay a lot of attention to, not that you could in this case, but having a low kicker can mess you up pretty bad.

New players often forget this and shove because they think they have the upper hand, then someone has the same hand but with a A, or K, etc. (just higher) kicker and takes the pot.

Kickers matter, a lot.

kicker is an important card at that situation.....you played as you can .....you made everything ....but only heaven knows who will win... My full house gets beaten by an ace

#8 June 17th, 2016, 5:40 PM

Just my own sobering experience. I had QT, he had AA, the flop was 8QT. At this point I'm 72% favored to win. I pushed, he called. The turn brought another T, so now my full house is 95.5% favored to win. Of course, the river brought the 4.5% card, an A.

I'd been having a bad game up to this point. Can it get any worse? Of course it can. I'm a big believer in playing the odds till it's clear that blind luck has taken over. Time to go do some chores.

I would agree that is a tough way to lose and very unlikely. Look to protect your hand on the flop or turn by betting or raising. An overpair of 9's is quite good in that situation but vulnerable to overcards.

Make sure you make a note on that player that he chases with shyte and exploit it next time you think you have them beat.

What was his kicker if you can remember.

It one of these times that lady luck slaps in your face.

Its can make you go crazy but hey.......thats what makes poker intersing.

Sometimes it goes with you , sometimes against you.

GL next time.

#14 June 20th, 2016, 9:28 PM

On these moments i think, shouldn not played slow slowly but against some players there is no cure.. they would call any card and get lucky ...

#15 June 20th, 2016, 9:39 PM

That happened to me many times!

#16 June 20th, 2016, 11:02 PM

Oh dear, that's kind of cruel My full house gets beaten by an ace

Well, stupid things happen! Would be interesting when it was in tournament because a raise with A2 in an early stage would be just like gambling...

Good luck, the next full house is yours... ;-)

#17 June 21st, 2016, 1:59 AM

That, I think, is a bad beat. Calling a bluff and losing sucks.

#18 June 21st, 2016, 6:05 AM

its bad luck.. river card always sucks.. if it did not sucks you then probably it sucks your opponent.. in this case it sucks you..

#19 June 26th, 2016, 9:07 AM

It made me remember my favourite bad beat-- I was playing on 888poker cash game. Flop appeared and I had Flush, higher card ACE. Now my only remaining RIVAL played ALLins. I carefully examined and thought he/she would have Higher pair or a Flush mostly by King. I too called him. Now Pokergods had blessing over my rival as turn and river came 9 9 and he had Four of a kind against my Flush and I lost 350 hardcore cash.
What a Joke...

UGGH OMG I hate that!! Ive had that happen to me before. you think...what is possibly better? Then the impossible hits you and well....its alllll over... lol

#21 July 1st, 2016, 3:30 AM

The opponent must have thought that you have nothing. If it was me with an Ace in pocket I wouldn't have called you on the turn. It's bad luck that you lost on the river. Ace is a kicker and there was four of a kind on the table. Also on the river you should have folded because 5 is not a kicker. Good luck on your next tournament buddy!

After all u did right quads shows up, thats call bad beat. And his kicker was good.Its poker... Just unlucky. But leave it behind you and think about next hand. Cheers!

I would rather play right and lose than to play wrong and win
RoW Champ 2014. Congrats Allen for ToTW

I copied the above saying from a post above. I have to disagree with this statement. There have been so many times I have played right and have lost, so the times I win when I have played in err they never make up the times I played right and lost. to err is human. If I was perfect would I be playing freerolls and micro games????

#24 July 1st, 2016, 5:57 PM

keep trying. Don't give up

I really dont like the twists and turns, it aways hurt my stack!

#27 July 4th, 2016, 11:51 AM

Yes its true u lose with poker and not with full house when the turn shows then u needed to know that if he have higher card than 9 then he win its no bad beat :/

#28 July 12th, 2016, 4:16 PM

The twists and turns are what makes poker a great game. I come out on the short end sometimes, but keeps your brain active lol.

#29 July 12th, 2016, 8:47 PM

Some beats are unusual and take a bit of time for the novice to understand. the first time my pocket pair was counterfeited by 2 higher pairs on the board I had no idea how I'd just lost.

#30 July 13th, 2016, 6:25 PM

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement! My full house gets beaten by an ace

Made me feel better! Yes opponent had Ace, 2

#31 July 13th, 2016, 6:37 PM

Since you were just calling his bets he probably thought he had you beat. I'm not sure what his stack was compared to yours, but if it was much higher he could be justified in making the bet he did. He either wanted you off this hand or he thought he had you beat. That was some terrible luck on the river though for you.

#32 October 16th, 2019, 12:23 AM

I don't know how it happened but my full house was beat by three 10s in poker stars. Has this happened to anyone else.

It's happened to me before, but not in real money poker. This was on FB poker. I had QQ vs. ace rags. The board had four 9s so the ace kicker played.

hi hi M357
please re-examine the hand ok? i sure it explainable thing like the villian achieve a straight, flush or higher full house, you see pokerstars determines winner with mathematics and software
it impossible the computer is wrong with winners
no worry you can be sure of that
