Happy New Year Mates. I played my first 3$ Turbo SnG of the year on PStars of course. I made it to the money and got dealt T-T on the SB, the Blinds were 100-200. Button bets 600 (Stacks were 9k for him, 2k for me), I push and the SB folds. Guy shows Q9h. I flop a set, but he gets a runner, runner straight (chit). What the heck, I cashed anyways.

Wow first bad beat of the new year, hope thats not a sign of things to come

I'm sorry about telling you this, you will have bad beats worse than that.
I got my full boat cracked over running 3's for a four of a kind. I'm glad it just was my daily homegame where we don't play for more than two hundred bucks.

I got lucky today. Won eight straight hands with suited connectors hehe.

One of my fave beats of this year has to be on ladbrokes. $100 rebuy. $70,000 gtd.

Im big blind which folds round to the button who raises 4x BB which are 200-4000 so i re-raise him 12x which he calls.

Flop comes K55, I have the nuts at the moment (I dont put him on 55) so i decide to check to see if he follows through, which he does... he moves all in.

I cant call qiuck enough

He flips over A3... i was thinking HAHA unlucky...

Turn 5

River 5

He wins with his A kicker...

Gutted

Should i have moved then, or ust unlucky?

So by nuts I assume you had pocket kings. If he pushed you all in of course that's an insta-call, but the odds of the deck emptying of 5's like that onto the board.. outrageously low.

only really bad beat i've had lately was early position raise 3x the big blind in a tourny, i was low stacked and the blinds were high so i re-raised all in with AK. raiser called and showed... AK. 4 diamonds on the board gave him a K high flush .
