Oh, give it a rest already
 

Bad beat stories. I'm actually kind of inured to them. They're just part of a poker player's vocabulary: " Hey, you still in?" "Naw, I had KK raised pf got called by a guy with J-9 off. We ended up all in when I had a set and he had nothing and he runner runnered a straight on me." "oh, tough one..."

Or, "What happened to your big stack?" "Well [insert generic bad beat story of your choice]". Its how poker players make small talk to each other.

But this week in our cash game, it just went on, and on, and on. I mean, c'mon tell your one or two or four most recent/spectacular/devastating bad beat stories and move on already!!!! Do we really have to keep trotting them out for six friggin hours?

Oh, and to the womman next to me, yes that was a sucky bad beat that made you finish third in that tourney...but you had five top six tournament finishes last night and made $3,500 dollars? Why the f()ck are you telling me a bad beat story from that session?

Ah well. I think it was just the last hour of bad beat stories that fried my brain. Five hours of em, I can take. Six hours is just too many.

Um, really?

Isn't this the poker Beats, Brags, and Variance forum? Did I misread the title? Too bad there isn't a sticky that explains it all.

Bad Beats. Hmm, I think that would be covered by Beats. Oh, also brags. Gee lets not forget variance. Hits all three prongs.

Heck, call the post a brag -- See how much more out of line my game is than a normal game!!! I'm the champ of enduring bad beat stories! Woo hoo, yea me!!!!

Oh, never mind, I'll just go cross post it in Computer Technical Help.

I don't like your river play, other than that it's ok.

Re: Oh, give it a rest already
 

yeah. you posted this in a forum dedicated to posting bad beats. maybe not the best audience.

Re: Oh, give it a rest already
 

What everyone is trying to say is, why would you complain about people posting bad beat stories, in the bad beat part of the forum?

Re: Oh, give it a rest already
 

He's not. He's bragging that he had the endurance to put up with 5 hours of bad beat stories in person.

That's a lot.

That last hour must have been a BITCH, dude.

Re: Oh, give it a rest already
 

If I'm giving a bad beat, it isn't a story, I try to get it down to one sentence, maybe two of there are other things worth mentioning.
i.e.
Total lag caps I have AK on KK4 board, running fours, his A4 wins.
