Bad Beats? You Wanna See Bad Beats?

Only three pots I lost at a $25 NL Stars table:

Limp EP with ATo. Flop comes 4-T-7 rainbow. I lead out with a pot sized bet, get one caller. Turn is a 6. Caller bets, I throw out pot-sized raise. He calls. River is a 4. Pot sized bet, he raises all-in with his remaining $13.40. I call. He turns over T4o for the rivered full house. He was ahead the whole way, but who plays that?

Next orbit, MP with AKo. I raise to $1 (4BB), get 2 callers. Flop is A-3-2. I bet $1.25, get one caller, who I have position on. Turn is a 4. EP player goes all-in for $5. I have to see, so I call. River is a 7. He called a PFR from UTG with 65o and was a 4-to-1 underdog on the flop--WITH an inside straight draw.

Next orbit (I'm in the same position in all 3 hands, and was beaten by a player I had position on each time), I'm dealt 99 in MP. I limp to see a flop of J-9-Q, two spades. I push all-in for my remaining $3.65. I then watch as runner-runner spades come to give a guy with Q5o a queen-high flush to beat my set. He's more than a 4-to-1 dog on the flop.

At least the first guy stayed in with two pair. The second guy called with a max of 4 outs. The third needed runner-runner spades to win. What is that, 1.5 outs according to Abdul? The Q doesn't help him because it fills me up. I probably should have raised with the first and third hands, but apparently 65o is good for a raise, so...

Update: The same douchebag who sucked out in #2 did it again. I'm dealt the Hilton Sisters in LP. The moron min-raises pre-flop, so I blast him with a 9 BB re-raise (to $2.50). He calls the two dollars, then on a 6-T-J flop with two spades, he pushes all-in with his shitty $4.70 he had left. I insta-call. Turn is a J, river a T. He flips over J8o for a rivered full house. He went all in on the flop with top pair, no kicker, and sucked out--hard. On me. Again. He's worse than a 4-to-1 dog pre-flop, and worse after the flop.

Tilt approaching--fast. To make it worse, these are the ONLY pots I've lost today. I've pushed the table around into 13 pre-showdown folds out of 23 flops seen!!! I've gone to showdown 5 times, losing those 4 pieces of shit, and winning a hand with AA that I was petrified to push with, with a board of T-8-K rainbow. He just busted out with Q8o vs. JJ on a Jack-high board.

Jackass.

Lost a legit hand--AQs vs. KQs. Flop is 4-4-Q. I bet the pot, he calls, turn is a K, no further help. Oh well....On my way to losing a second buy-in today. If I lose it, I'm done. Playing like this does me no good. I thought I got past bitching about bad beats, but other than the first hand, what do all these beats have in common? I was miles ahead on every one of them when I played it.

It happens.
