Next time you complain about a bad beat think of this

[mrh86]

When you're on the unlucky side of a 429,981,696:1 occurance, it doesn't matter. Those are the odds of AK beating AA eight times in a row.

Ok, let me put it this way. I'm sitting at that table staring at edog, grinder and jdags all that have me hugely outchipped. I also know that I am a very easy read for them.

I am the short stack, I have 15 big blinds, I haven't been above average in two days.

Erick raises from the cutoff and the TIGHTEST player EVER moves in, and I look down at two aces, and I'm unlucky? Being in that spot and getting to have a no brainer decision and a 92% favorite after surviving 5 all ins is running soooooooo good.

I'm not bitter, disgusted or angry about the hand, I'm happy I didn't bust out due to some huge error in judgement or some big mental mistake.

Thanks THEOSU for the sweat and thanks to MLG for the kind words. You have some serious game my friend. It really wasn't that fun playing with you. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Great job, great finish, and most importantly great attitude. I wish I could say I would react the same way, but I know that I've steamed over beats for days that were for 1/100th of the money that was at stake here. I dont think anybody would blame you if all you did was mutter 92% favorite under your breath for a month. The ony thing more impressive than your finish is your outlook on the game.

I dont want to see the math on this one from last years $5k buy-in at Bellagios 5 diamond.

2 players get the chips all-in preflop. One has AK the other 88.

Flop: AKK

yep you guessed it...running 8's!!

Sorry to hear about the beat Norberg. Your taking it right tho. You got your chips in with the best of it and it wasnt an error. Thats what we all need to look at when we leave any tournament. Did we play well? Where were the mistakes we made?

Hats off to you sir.

The 8's hold up.

Good job nordberg, you have tons of final tables ahead of you. Well done.

[mic_check12]

word up Nordberg. Spoken like a true professional

[Prime Time]

Congrats!
Nothing you could do bout the AA cracking.
Almost same thing happened to Ozzy one spot closer at the PCA. Unreal.

[BadgerPro]

Just an amazing attitude to have after a beat like that. I'd probably still be at the bar drinking my woes away... unshaven, unshowered, and bitching to anyone who gets close enought to listen.

Congrats on a great tourney/finish. You're already more of a professional then Hellmuth probably ever will be (can you imagine him after that?).

No words bro. Sick game.
