Well I've had this idea for a thread for a while now (not that its super-original). Everyone always posts the ridiculous bad beats and horrible plays that get rewarded, I thought it would be fun to have a collection of hands in a thread with just the ridiculously bad plays that lose. So my plan is, whenever I come across just a head-scratcher of a chip donation, I'll copy/ paste, maybe convert, and just post it here. Others are free to do the same in this thread if you are so inclined. The idea is to have something to possibly come to look at when I'm starting to tilt, just to give a sense of perspective on why it is good to play against bad players. I figure if no one else will get any use out of it I might, but I thought maybe someone else would too.

I could go back through recent hand histories and find several I'm sure, but I'm lazy. But here's one that just happened to start it off:

Full Tilt Poker, $6 + $0.50 NL Hold'em Sit n' Go, 20/40 Blinds, 9 Players

I love the idea, I think this should become popular, and combat the "Rigged" Posts.

If you flop trips you expect to have the winning hand. This is just one of those hands you hope don't occur too often.
