There's a somewhat entertaining bad beat story over at Stray Toaster:
Scene one. Darkened room, smoke hangs heavy in the air. The guns are checked behind the bar, but the audience has the feeling both cowboys are packing. The game is standard seven card stud. There is one card to go, Sucker has four hearts showing, whereas Jammeister has a pair.
Link Can you guess where it goes from here? Hint: the name "Sucker" may or may not be a tell.
