OK, I’ve been good up until this point but I'm going to have to ask you to indulge me in bad beat of the extreme variety. Please fasten your safety belt.
$1-2 NL, table is a little loose.
I look down to see TT in the SB. I raise preflop to $15, get two callers. Flop: KT2 rainbow.
I check, MP checks, button bets $30. I call the $30, MP goes all in for $130. Button raises to $200, I go all in for $330, button calls. Pot: $900.
At this point I cannot believe my good fortune. Then things IMPROVE.
MP turns over KT, so I've got to avoid a K. I can handle that. Then I almost laugh as the button turns over KQ, so these knuckleheads have each other's King and KQ is basically drawing dead. He even says: "I can't win". I feel like knocking their heads together three-stooges style and mumbling “ship it”.
QQ.
I consulted the pokerstove oracle when I got home: 92% favorite.

OOOOHHHH, that sucks.
I was playing heads up once, not too low stacked, but not sitting on as many chips as the other guy. I was delt pocket 4's. Which normally, I dread getting small pocket pairs because they usually screw me no matter how I play them. But, as you know, when you're heads up, a low pocket pair is pretty darn good. I was BB and the other guy just called, and I checked. The flop came 4Q2. I just about shit my pants, but didn't show it. Call's on me, but again I check trying to feel him out to get the most out of the situation. He bets big, I go all in, immediately he called. Flips over his cards...he had QQ. The turn and river did me no good. It's hands like this that I'll never forget, but just have to suck up.
In my opinion, set over set is the absolutely worst thing than can happen to a NL player. There's simply no way to avoid donating a BUNCH of chips to the other side.
Thanks for your comment
