There is an old tradition that says whatever you are doing at midnight on New Year’s Eve, you will be doing all year. Obviously, I want to be playing poker; so I entered an online tournament to play into the New Year. Right at midnight, I flopped broadway. The flop was a rainbow, so I should have been a shoo-in for the win. But, something in my gut told me I was going to lose. Lo and behold, I was right. The next card was a J, which gave the player in seat 4 – quad Jacks. Great way to start the New Year!

Speaking of bad beats, I thought it I would share a few more famous ones with you. So don’t feel bad – you’re in good company!
2006 WSOP Event: Mike Caro flopped four-of-kind 8’s. What are the odds that he would win the hand? Almost 100% right? Almost, another play hit runner-runer to end up with a straight flush. UGH!
1995 WSOP Event: Barbara Enright had pocket 8’s in the big blind at the final table. Brent Carter, the small blind was the only caller, so Enright pushed all in. Carter called with 6-3. Carter flopped two pair and Enright was eliminated in 5th place. I don’t think I am ever going to play pocket 8’s again.
2008 WSOP Event: On Day 1 of the tournament, Moto Mabuchi hit quad A’s on the river. For a moment, he was ecstatic; until, Justin Philips turned over the Royal Flush he hit on the river. – SICK!
