The Bad Beat Tales Begin

Breaks during poker tournaments are when players take the opportunity to use the bathroom, smoke a cigarette, and call their loved ones. Players also like to gather in circles and recall their bad beat stories from the previous level. I just overhead four sordid tales of big pocket pairs succumbing to inferior hands.

It doesn't matter if the tournaments are in Las Vegas, Monte Carlo, Barcelona, London, or Melbourne... players are always commiserating over their bad beat stories.
