This happened to me just this a little while ago. I though that I was makeing a great play at the time because AAAN88S and Bjorg009 were playing alot of pots with not much of a hand.

Now this may not seem like such a bad beat when you first look at it, but what made me mad was that this was the thrid pot that AAAN88S had won with 8 5 in the last about 20 hands. I guess it was his lucky hand.

Yea, you just got unlucky there. He had a piece of the flop, no way he was folding for just 50 cents. He got even better on the turn and it's hard for you to fold there. Ah, the joys of low-limit poker.

That's why I don't like limit, people can stay in and catch BS hands like that.
