First of all I love you site its been really helpful. I wanted share a bad beat story which happened the other day while I was playing online. I was at this $50 NL table and one guy was an absolute calling station, but worse he was just destorying everyone. He kept getting lucky time and again. I noticed that every other player in the table was just waiting for the right hand to play against him. Everytime someone would pick up a strong hand he would crack them by getting 2 pair with J4 or something. I'm in about middle position and I pick up AsKs. I hate this hand, I just don't seem to do well with it. For some reason I always flop top pair with it but then get check raised on the river by the guy who flops a small set. Anyway I raise like 4xBB to try and get a few people out. Naturally this guy calls from late position. The flop comes back and its AAK. Now I'm just praying this guy has an ace (which would be a monster starting hand for him). I bet a bit (because no matter what he has he'll call or get aggressive), he raises a ton, and I call. The turn comes a 3. I check and he goes all-in (which is a huge overbet by the way). I call and he flips over pocket 3s (which surprised me because I had him on a weaker ace). Naturally the river is the case 3 in the deck and he beats my full house with runner runner 3 to make quads.

I stick around the table for a bit and other players are blasting the guy for how lucky he was, and how lucky he had been all day. He defends going all-in on the turn because he was "Afraid of the flush" ! He had a full house at that point! He also said how he was confused why people thought it was a bad beat because 33 was a favorite over AK pre-flop.

Thanks for listening.
