We all know poker can be brutal sometimes. You make the right decisions, get your money in ahead, and then—BOOM!—the river crushes your dreams. We’ve all been there. 😭

What’s the worst bad beat you’ve ever experienced? Did you lose a big tournament because of a 1-outer? Maybe you had pocket Aces, and someone called with 7-2 offsuit and hit two pair?

How did you handle it? Did you stay cool, or did you tilt? Let’s hear your worst (or funniest) bad beat stories!

My straight flush vs royal flush lol . Also my high foul house vs royal flush . It is mote important the time when you lose , at which stage and level . If you are very deep and the buy in is high , ot hurts a lot more

It's incredible every time I get AA, I get overconfident and end up giving away chips.

AA two hands in a row at GGpoker, both all in pre flop, got kicked twice at the same tournament.

Hand before the break after playing patiently in an online tournament i get aces and raise...villain shoves all in...i call...he turns over 62 and promptly catches two pair to eliminate me...i still cant believe to this day that someone in their right mind shoves 62 off or suited for that matter....i still feel like it was set up.

More recently just after the break on the bubble i get 77s and spike a 7 on the flop...i go all in villain calls with nothing but runner runners a flush to knock me out and stop me from cashing

Latest tournamnet is 77s again he call with kj suited and runner runner a flush...its hard to believe that it is a coincidence.

AA vs. AA in a cash game started with 10-10 dollars and all-in before flop. Villain won with a runner-runner flush... Unforgettable hand, it hurts till today.

It's hard to mention just one, but the ones that are 1 out on the river are the ones that hurt the most.

The worst I've ever had was AA on a tournament bubble
