Just keep in mind that pocket aces average a win only 1/3 of the times played. So you're having pocket aces cracked is not at all unusual.

I've learned a long time ago, that a loss of any hand, be it 7-2 off suit or any other hand, is a bad beat.

My latest one came two nights ago sitting next to a young girl who was participating in only her 2nd tournament. Actually it wasn't my bad beat, but just the idea that she lasted longer than I did and I've been playing for 50 years.

I only got to place 14th and she was still going.
