I hate it when this happens.
Early position min raises and is called by middle postion. You as button or one of the blinds re raise to near pot size bet with 10's or better. Imedieate snap calls by both players. Flop comes rainbow with middle card giving you trips and one of the other flop cards is higher than your pair unless AA.
You are fairly sure you had the best hand pre flop or you would have probably had a re raise. Maybe one or both other players hold the higher card So you bet the pot hoping that they do and sure enough you get the re raise all in you were hoping for. After a small deliberation knowing you have the other player covered you call.
Sure enough he/she holds the higher card with a decent kicker. Then the site throws you a wrenck, the lower card of your oponent hits a runner runner for a higher full house and then desstroys the trap you set with the flop.
This has happened to us all , but it still hurts to get this type of bad beat.

Try to reduce the number of opponents to 1, preflop. Against 2 or more players, AA/KK/QQ are very vulnerable. Plus you have to learn folding these cards postflop if you think you are beaten. :)

Happens to me many times.

Worst is, you accumulate chips for a very long time and just being scooped it in a matter of seconds with those kind of beatings.
