Bad Beat on myself (long)

[thesnowman22]

This happened to me the other nite at a 20 person MTT at a bar. Now we have no live poker in NC, so unless you have a home game going, this is the only way to play live.

Anyway, my table has 8 people. The guy to my left and one other are very aggressive. We have played 15-20 hands, and I have folded all unless I completed the blind or checked the BB. This tourney has VERY fast blind structures- we started with 5000 chips and the blinds go 100/200, 200/400, then 400/800, and the levels are only 15 min.

Well, Im down to about 4000 chips. Were about halfway thru the 200/400 level. Im in second pos., fold, the guy to my left raises, and when it gets around to the BB he goes all in. The guy to my left folds, then the all-in guy shows 10-10. The guy to my left shows KQ and says "Wow. I wish id have called."

Thats the background. The NEXT HAND, I get dealt 10-10. Now I hate to raise all in here from first and get called with 2 overs, so I just raise. The min. raise has been standard here, and with the rapidly escalating blind structure, 3x is too much anyway. I raise 1000, making it 1400 to go, which is a HUGE raise relative to everyones stacks.

The guy to my left had gotten up and stepped out the door for a second, and someone across the table reached over and pulled his hand to the center of the table. The NEXT guy startes to fold, but me, being the nice guy/idiot that I am, see the guy to my left coming back in the door and say "Wait, here he is."

You see where this is going, right?

Well, he quickly sits down, picks up his cards, and says, "I call". Great. I say out loud "Now hell probably bust me." Ha-ha.

The flop is 2-8-9 with 2 hearts. I have about 2500 bucks left and the pot is around 3200. I have to go all in. I do. He of course, quickly calls. I say "You have trips dont you?" He does - trip eights. (Perfect since Im the snowman).

The story stops there, its bad enough, but theres more.

The turn is a BEAUTIFUL 10. Everyone of course, is hooting and hollering (thats a southern phrase). I say "Thats poetic justice". Then add "There better not be any more eights in that deck".

I am sure you know the ending huh? Eight on the river and Im done. Everyone screams and hollers, and the guy across from me literally falls backwards out of his chair. I have no choice but to hi-five the guy to my left, and at least I get a free beer for the bad beat.

That is the LAST TIME i be nice believe me.

So, a donkament in a bar not for real money? Is that the true bottom of the poker barrell?
