playin 50 cents to dollar no limit.....down to a short stack...about $20...raise $3 with A-9 late position.... flop comes 5 -7 -9 rainbow......I go all in......get called... i wonder what does he have...overpair....maybe a-k...a-q......or what.... no he calls with 2-3 os ??????????????????????? calls with nothing.....I'm 99.99999% .....
turn a 6 ---river a 4........for his straight.....so one has to think he knew something i didn't....I would have been a favorite regardless of what cards I had.....
so who would have called that....not a person....ever unless.....
cool bad beat story bro... why dont we all post our bad beat stories and whine and complain all day about how its all rigged, yet keep playing online...
totally agree with the above poster. youre getting zero value in just straight up going all in. i mean yea that is a horrendous bad beat, but what are you going to get out of posting this?

Except he called with s**t so in fact the op was right to shove. If he suspects the villain is loose, which he clearly was, there is absolutely no reason to not shove. We don't know what led to this hand so given the op may have a better read than us, you cannot say for certain this was bad play.

maybe i'll learn something ;o)
There is a possibility he miss-clicked. He may have misread his hand for an easier draw. Or he may be an idiot. Point is, there will always be retard players who will call you and get lucky. Clearly you're not yet going to the extreme of saying poker is rigged, so you appreciate that variance is a monster and this is a rare bad beat. It always hurts but you have to live with it. If the outcome is possible it's bound to happen to someone sooner or later, so curse your luck and move on. Hope you feel better for sharing.

no lol,that's not the way you can think in poker. Just because "he got it in good" doesnt mean the play is profitable longterm. You have to think in terms of HAND RANGES instead of the actual hand. Alot of the time OP will take the pot down by shoving. But what's the benefit of straight shoving? Why not try and get value off draws or middle pairs and so on? You can already see the range OP gives villain is way off. Why would AK or AQ not 3bet preflop?Ever? Not even taking in account those hands will not call a shove (all considering villain would be a standard NL100 player obv).
Oh and btw,this hand was played on ipoker (gutshot,titan etc),right (just my assumption)? Then this does not surprise me at all seeing that network is infested with bots and the sites do nothing about it...

It didn't happen the way you say, that's my thought as no one would call there with 23o Ohh and LOL @BeMyATMplz not going to bother explaining why you are wrong seams like it would be hard work.

@Macubaas, happens all the time at certain types of game. Crow58 is talking about someone paying $20 (calling) with 23 in the hand waiting for two 2, two 3 or, like it happened, a 4 and a 6 on the turn and at the river. The caller had 6 outs, the probability of geting is isnt just 0,0001%, but it realy low indeed. If the caller has $100 behind even taking the risk of loosing this hand, i can still understand his call, but not in any other way. Would durrrr do this call?

I think anyone that plays poker for a while and especially online has faced situations like this. I have for sure. And more than once. There will be always idiots playing but also players who click the wrong buttons. I was the caller of a smiilar hand once by mistake but i lost the hand lol

miss-click is a strong contender IMO. I play on a laptop with a trackpad - meaning that the device I used (pad) to move the mouse cursor is ALSO a mouse button. I miss-click s**t all the time, generally i try and keep the cursor AWAY from where the betting buttons appear, but not always do I do this, instead I leave it directly over the call button and when I touch it to move to 'fold' it clicks call for me.
Always fun to try and explain in the chat box after calling somebodys allin for 150bb with 5Jos.

Yup, this reeks of a missclick allright. But I have seen just as strange calls (not often, but it happens), that did not draw out on me, so, there you go.
As for the evergoing rigged-debate, I have written this somewhere earlier, and I still think this is true: With all the pokerhands dealt out there, these bizarre hands have to happen every now and then. If they didn't, I would be the first one to claim it is rigged!
its not rigged i tell ya.........................
