maybe be the worst bad beat I've given to someone - and best yet, the bastard deserved it - LOL.

I like this hand -from my first 45 player SNG.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed) converter


BB (t4165)
UTG (t3000)
MP1 (t3865)
Hero (t2150)
CO (t5700)
Button (t3935)
SB (t2015)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8c, 8h.
2 folds, Hero raises to t450, 3 folds, BB calls t300.

Flop: (t975) 5h, Kc, 7d (2 players)

BB bets t3715 (All-In), Hero calls t1700 (All-In).

chump called my raise preflop and when he overbet post flop, I knew from observation of previous hands that he probably didn't want a caller and he was willing to call all in with middle pair - I did the math and thought I'd be ahead over 50% of the time so I called - He has K8 spades. The fact I read this guy right (the overbet still meant he didn't wanna be called) - and that he hit a lucky 3 outer this time pissed me off to no end.

Turn: (t6390) 2h (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: (t6390) 8d (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: t6390

that felt good. - - one out babee - one out only, please

man - I know it's closer to 1 in 22.5, cause it was one out twice, but still - whew...if I make the money in my first game and cover my losses, it'll be worth 8 more bad beats to follow.
