Today I finished the tournament with in my eyes a bad beat.

With suited AQ I raised the big blind (100) to 700 chips. 1 player called.
Flop gave me pair of aces with a high kicker. Also 6 and 8 where drawn. Again I raised, 1500 this time. My opponent didn’t call, but went all in. It was just before the break and with my top pair and high kicker I had to call. Showdown time, my pair of aces with Queen kicker against a straight draw???
The idiot called my 700 raise on the pre-flop with a 7 and a 10 in his hands??? What was he thinking?
I immediately knew my game today was over and that he’ll hit is straight. I even didn’t have to wait for the river, the turn left me with nothing than a 283rd place finish today. He hit his straight, no use of showing the river.

Until this hand, my tournament went fairly well, not giving me much chips like yesterday, but I played very well. Immediately bluffed some people with some well timed raises and called other’s bluff.
Only made one mistake that almost finished my tournament after 30 minutes, but I made a good comeback. So I’m a bit disappointed by my loss against 7 10 and that’s why I think I had a ‘bad beat’.

Oh yeah, I did subscribed myself to a Belgian poker tournament organized by a TV station here, if I get through the satellite tournament, you’ll be seeing me on TV soon

I’ll keep you updated on this one.
