One player flips over pocket 2s. I mucked my hand pre-flop AND the bad beat jackpot. 2222 vs 7777 I can't remember if there was a pre flop raise. I got hassled by the dealer the most, and a few of the players kept bringing it up in good fun. But i can't get over it, and wish I had just played the hand. But also know I shouldn't beat myself up over it. Trying to believe that there are plenty of bad beats that get mucked over the course of the day, and just never pan out. Jackpot was 12k, so I would have taken about 3k.

Are you sure the bad beat pays when one of your cards is the kicker? Most places these days require a pocket pair for quads to count
Yeah, the dealer was hoping for someone in the hand to have the fourth 7. My 5 kicker would have played, 77775, vs 22227. Both hole cards need to play. Quads over quads is the minimum for it to hit.
Thanks Thorpe for the silver lining...thing is, I may play it if it were suited, but it wasn't. I wish I was able to say that there was a preflop raise, but I folded and didn't pay much attention to the hand until after all the cards were dealt.

Can't let theses gimmicks get into your poker playing head.
Appreciate it Goose
It did throw me off slightly, second guessing my folds in certain situations. Just hoping it doesn't linger into my future days around the table.
I do chuckle at the players who arrive at the table with the intention of hitting the bad beat, and making it known to the dealers to "c'mon, lets do it! you feeling lucky?"

I wouldn't even have wasted one second of my time worrying about that.
Were you supposed to be playing 5/7 off-suit or something , c'mon now.
This reminds me of my cousin when he would first start playing fantasy football. He would say things like "Damn dude, Aaron Rodgers got 24 pts, my backup Josh McCown got 31, if I started Josh I woulda won"...
Hard to beat yourself up about not playing McCown over Rodgers, same as not playing 5/7 off suit.
My boy literally does this all the time at card games.
FLOP 7 7 3
He tells me "damn dude, I folded 7 3"...like umm ...ok and? YOURE NOT EXACTLY SUPPOSED TO BE PLAYING that.
Part of the game. Don't beat yourself up.
WHAT I THOUGHT happened was you played the hand out and were so disgusted that he had quads, that you mucked after the river and never showed your cards. CARDS TALK.
But that's not what happened and I think youre overreacting by alottttttttttttt. 5/7 off suit, cmon now.
GIMME DEM POINTS

Way too much missed action to assume how he hand would have been played out. The other guy with 2222 got it on the flop, you did not. He might have bet you off that hand. Maybe not.
You muck 7-5 period
