I like your idea of laundering drug money at the casino. Has that ever been made into a movie.

Maybe she had just won big at the craps table. Maybe her boyfriend was a drug dealer and she was laundering the money via the casino.

Instead of cruising into the money, I was short-stacked and never recovered.

In a home game, I folded A-3 to a pre-flop raise by a tight player. The flop came A-3-3! Of course, I was thinking about the chips I could have won. The turn was a Jack, and the original raiser pushed and was called. I thought at that point that I had been lucky, for I put him on the killer hand: J-J. His higher full house would have demolished me. However, poker being what it is, had I been ready to hand over my chips, I would have been delighted to see the river -- the case 3, which would have given me quads!<br /><br />Not quite as bad as your example, but one that had us buzzing for several minutes.lightning36https://www.blogger.com/profile/05641629003610446976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-47048580506615791192012-06-04T10:34:53.200-05:002012-06-04T10:34:53.200-05:00My reaction having the K Q would have been to laug...My reaction having the K Q would have been to laugh OUT LOUD, accompanied by shaking my head of course, and smiling AT the person with the 3 3...

Agreed, this would be about as bad as you could possibly get since there are no other cards but the exact two that hit that could have saved her. Can't understand the logic of calling on the woman's part. Did the guy seemed like he bluffed a lot? Was she the worst player in the history of poker who just got incredibly, out-of-her mind lucky?<br /><br />I always wonder what the reaction of the victim is after taking a beat like that. Had it been me who flopped the boat, I think I would have quit playing poker...for the day at least, possibly the week, maybe the month....maybe forever.<br /><br />If I may be permitted a little self-promotion, my favorite bad beat story has to to do with the reaction of the loser, and it is a story I told on my blog some time ago, which is here:<br /><br />http://robvegaspoker.blogspot.com/2011/09/olivia-she-wasnt-jack-off.htmlRobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-72242812686958221352012-06-04T10:09:30.742-05:002012-06-04T10:09:30.742-05:00Closest I can think of for myself was online.

There is a 0.0444% chance of hitting one of those threes on the turn (2/45), and a 2.27% chance of hitting the other one on the river. (1/44). Multiplying the two chances together gives us a .101%, or one tenth of one percent chance, of getting bad beat in this way.matt taghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082969194551315973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180192357104553952.post-86075514051026082282012-06-04T08:24:21.648-05:002012-06-04T08:24:21.648-05:00Not as bad as the one you mentioned, but I did los...Not as bad as the one you mentioned, but I did lose with quad threes at the Plaza a few years ago.
