If you have a minute, I'll tell you about a severe bad beat I experienced recently. Even though it wasn't Dylan, I'd swear this guy went to Dylan's poker school (i.e. Donkey U).
It is the early rounds of a deepstack holdem tourney. We're paying nine handed, and everybody is sitting at approximately 120 big bets. The play has been extremely tight. A raise of 3 BBs is enough to take down more than half the pots before the flop, and nobody is 3 betting..
Under the gun I pick up aces and raise to 3 BBs. It folds around to king donkey. He min raises, so I 3 bet 30 BBs. He calls instantly. The flop comes Q, 9, 3, rainbow. I lead out with a half pot size bet. He calls instantly, again. The turn is a king of clubs, putting two clubs on board--my aces are red. I go all in, with just slightly more chips than me, and after going into the tank for what seemed to be an eternity. Eventually he exclaims, "I can't imagine laying this one down." and calls. Can you guess what he flips up? Two fours. I was literally stunned. I was half expecting the flush draw, but even if he had given me 10 guesses I would have never put him on fours. Well, this is a bad beat story, so you probably already guessed how it ends... Of course, the river was a four, sending me to the rail.
