Here’s a scenario for the first type: You have a pair of aces, the best starting hand possible while your opponent is no more betting takes in a pair of four. The flop came AQ 4 and your opponent goes all-in. You call, you have the best possible hand at this point. The turn was a 4 and you do not catch your ace on the river, you just lost four of a kind. In this case you could not do anything. It is not possible, you can bend your triple aces, you had the best hand possible. If you lie you might as well take up knitting! Here’s how the second (avoidable) type of bad beat play: You have AQ and you still MRX and are involved in paris. This time it low in chips and goes all in with J 9 out of desperation. You decide to call it as you have good chances to increase your chips and you feel it does not help. 10 7 2 flop and he hits his 8 on the ballot for a fifth. So how can you go to avoid bad shots like that? First you must understand that in online poker tournaments in the event of bad beats are much higher than in real life poker in a casino or poker at home. There are several reasons for this, but the botom line is that it is the online poker player is a different breed. The average player online is much more likely to play a hand and is much more likely to be distracted by other games, he played in the same time, or television, or children or whatever.
