Let's face it: Bad beats are part of Texas Holdem Poker whether you play tournaments or cash games. No matter how good your hand seems to be, there's always going to be a time when your hand is second best.
A recent tournament illustrates this. I got QQ and went all in in response to a moderate raise called by three other players. Didn't expect other three to call all-in but damned if they didn't! Very large pot but....
Pre-flop I dominated . Other three had JJ, 99 and 77.
Big pot and I was excited.
Looking good!
Flop was 10 10 3 rainbow.
So far so good.
Turn was J.
COME ON QUEEN!!!!
River was 5.
Out of the tournament.
Yeah, I got a bad beat but given the same circumstances I'd do it again. No big raises so not likely anyone had AA or KK so my all-in on QQ was a righteous move.
I lost but that's poker. Bad beats are part of the game.
