The Worst Beat/Cooler I've Ever Had

Ok, so a few weeks ago I'm playing .25/.50 NL cash at our regular home game. I realize this is smaller than your C-bus cashies but please read on, I've got broke friends. This hand comes up a few hours into the game:

Villain # 1 ($30ish stack - HYPER AGGRESSO) raises to $2 in the cutoff.

I'm in the small blind ($50ish stack, playing LAG) with :8h::8d: and just call knowing Villain #1 will call any reraise in position with ATC.

Villain # 2 ($80ish stack - a good LAG player) also calls from the BB.

Flop - :8c::3h::3c: <-------- BINGO!!!!

I check, Villain # 2 checks, and surprisingly Villain # 1 DOESN'T continuation bet.

Turn - :5s:

I check knowing Villain #1 will fire here, Villain # 2 checks, Villain # 1 bets $4

I think this through and decide there is no card I should be scared of on the river. Villain #1's flop check throws out an over pair, and if he's got a 3 we're playing a big pot regardless.

I just call, and Villain # 2 calls as well (obvious 5 IMO).

River - :5h:

I really like this card as I think Villain #2 now has 5s full of 3s and will stack off to me. I think and lead for $8

Villain # 2 thinks for quite awhile and raises to $20

Villain # 1 quickly folds.

I quickly shove in for roughly $20 more and Villain # 2 quickly calls.

I stand up and slam down my 8s over 5s and pump my fist in celebration.

Villain # 2 looks at my reaction in amusement for 2 or 3 seconds and rolls over...

:5d::5c: <---- BRUTAL!

Yes very sick.. It helps to post these and move on.... I have had a terrible run tonight.. I have lost in a sick sick manner in a matter of a few hours AK vs. AQ (2X), JJ vs. 55, KK vs. 77 (QUADS vs. FH on the flop) AK vs. 23 (after hitting top two on the flop)....:mad:

Runner-runner on the turn and river is almost 1,000:1! :(

... the most brutal part is the slow roll!

Actually do to my overreaction with showing the eights, I probably deserved the slowroll.

I once gave someone a similar beat. A little sketchy on the details, but I pushed with my 44 into a pot of 9xx, hoping that my opponent missed the flop, but he turned over 99. Turn and river came 4, 4, and I survived.

This one still ranks as one of the worst in my book..
