Preach's Poker: Bad poker beat

Last night while playing in a real money tourney of 400 people at PartyPoker.com I received one of those bad beats that makes you want to throw things. Not because I was out played by someone with superior skills, but someone did something extremely dumb and got lucky.

I had made it down to where we had less than 100 of the original 400 and had $1400 in chips, up $400 from the original $1,000 and I get As,Qs on the button
and I push in $400 as my pre flop raise. The guy to my left calls and the flop comes Ad,2h,Qc rainbow. I push all in and he calls, but get this, he calls with Kh,2c! He pushed all in with a pair of two’s with AQ on the board! Turn comes 8c. River comes 2s…

He beat me out with a set of 2’s.

Sometimes there is no accounting for luck, but when it is luck garnered from stupidity it can be very frustrating to be on the other end of it.
