I sent this bad beat in last year and it wasn't published. It has to be because it's not believable. Even experts don't believe this one. I want to repost this story again in that this really happened. It happened on Bo-Dog. No one believes me when I tell them this hand. It is that unrealistic.

I'm playing on the 1k buy in 6 handed table and everyone has a decent amount of chips in the 1k range.

I'm am situated between two guys who literally hate each other. Wishing their families died, ill will etc. (this happens alot on line)

They would re-raise each other just for the reason that one of them was in the pot.

I just figured I'd bite my time and wait for a connector type hand to hit or slow play a big hand in between. The implied odds with these guys was out the roof. I could tell the other two guys tightened up thinking the same thing. I loosened up thinking the same thing.

I am now in middle position 3rd.

1st maniac bets $40
2nd position folds.

I look down at 67 offsuit and with the anger at this table. Call happily.

Seat 4 and Seat 6 call
with one of them being the other maniac his call actually surprised me, i thouht he'd raise with anything since the 1st maniac raised coming in. I put him on a real hand since he didn't re-raise.

Flop is:

345 with two hearts.

Initial maniac bets if i recall a decent sized bet of about $150 which is close to a pot size.

Because of the two hearts I raise to $400. Other caller smooth calls, then The angry player in last position goes all-in with his pre-flop action, I put him on a monster pair..

I put the smooth caller on a good flush draw.

Now the Initial raiser goes all-in. I put him on an over pair or a set.

I'm like wtf. Dow we all have 67?

I figures at least one was on a flush draw and i'd lose that way (was really running bad during this time, nutz meant nothing for a few months)

I now go all in for the rest of my chips which was about $700.

The other guy in the pot goes all-in.

4 guys all-in with a flop of 345 with two hearts.

Turn is 7 of hearts.

I figured. Ok, I just lost with a sort of a bad beat to a flush, but nothing to write home about.

Straights get outdrawn by flushes every day, every table every hour. But I look down and realize I have a straight flush redraw. I needed a 4 of hearts to get the stragiht flush.

These are the hands. No one had a flush.

Seat 1 had pocket 55's

I had 6h 7c

Caller in between has 33

late position had 44

River Card was a 3

Worse hand wins with quads.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and state that this hand has never happened before and that it won't be believed.

Only proof I have is my depleted bankroll from that terrible 4 month run of cards.

I felt like Negreanu on High stakes poker. Flopping nuts meant nothing to him for a while.

Answer:

That's an absolutely fantastic hand Ronald. You're right it's hard to believe, but hey, anything is possible in poker, right. Thanks for sharing this though and amazing bad beat with us.

Hope your luck has turned.
