Don't Tell Me About Your Bad Beat
By :
Shayne A. Sherman
"So I got my full house on the flop and the guy gets an 8 of diamonds on the river for the straight flush and beats me." How many bad beat stories have you heard? Hang around a poker room for one night and you'll hear a lot. They will be offered to you. You don't have to request to hear them. As poker players, we remember those bad beats vividly. We remember the suit and rank of every street, plus the hole cards involved in all of our bad beats. Now let me ask you this, how many bad beat stories have you told?
We feel the need to share these bad beat stories to anyone that will hear them. We even feel the need to share bad beat stories to people who have not agreed to listen. Why??? Let's take an honest look at why we insist on telling everyone and anyone about our bad beats.
The answer is very simple. To let everyone know what amazing poker players we are. We didn't lose the hand because we played it wrong. That could never happen. The planets lined up against us, the poker gods put a curse on us. The cards came out to the benefit of an opponent and knocked us out of the tournament or at the very least demolished our chip stack. So we stomp out of the poker room to find another poker player to plead our case.
Keep in mind as you are telling your bad beat story to another poker player, he has had that and every other bad beat happen to him too. As a matter of fact, all of his bad beats are running through his head while you are sharing yours. At the end of the day, someone sucked out on you and knocked you out of the tournament. Get over it. It happens every day in every tournament in every poker room in America. No wait! Make that in the world.
If you have won a tournament or even just made a final table, you have sucked out on another player. It has to happen. Yet we don't run to find someone to hear that story! "Hey listen to this. I just sucked out a flush on the river to beat this guy who had already flopped the nut straight!" Why don't we do that? Well, that would make us look like a lucky player, not necessarily a good poker player.
The bottom line is, bad beats occur. They will always happen. They don't make you a poor poker player. They don't make the guy who sucked out on you a poor poker player. They just happen. Trust me; no one wants to listen to them.
I was told this early when I had the pleasure to interview Antonio Esfandiari. I wanted to share with him this time I flopped the nut straight and my opponent put me all in. Of course I called and he ended up with a full house catching an ace on the river. I started telling Antonio my story and he stopped me and said, "Wait a minute, is this a bad beat story?" There was a long pause and I sheepishly answered, "Yes." He then stated he didn't want to hear it. He did joke about it and didn't make me look like stupid but I got it. Right then and there, I got it. Poker players don't want to hear about bad beat stories.
Bad beats will always happen. The true test is how we deal with them. Do you jump out of your chair and scold the player who just sucked out on you? Maybe you just tap the felt and say, "Good hand."
