Best and Worst

[Roger Mainfield]

Ya I know the amounts are small, but yesterday I had a few wicked bad beats (#1 is the worst I suffered). And today I made it back (Hand #2).

Hand #1

Woulda been worse if villian bought in full.

Is it a bad beat when you're behind the whole time? Serious question.

I also notice your worst beat is 1/5th the size as your best win, nicely done.

cold deck, bad beat, whats the difference

[kewl_cph]

At which point in hand 1 were you ahead? Cold deck, yes, bad beat, I don't think so.

Nice of Villain to let you draw to your dead perfect-perfect in hand 1.
