Hand Replay from 9/15/11

OK this will be one of many "Bad Beat Post's". [Q] [10] [2] [J] [9]

So today I'm playing poker at my local casino. You start with 5k in chips and blinds begin at 25-50. We are almost at break, with blinds being now 100-200. I have about 12k in chips, and I look down at pocket 10's. I'm in middle position with a raise by a tight player under the gun and a call in front of me. I elect to just call and see a flop in position, it folds around and the BB also calls. 4 way flop now, board comes out [Q] [2] [10]. BB leads out, 2 calls, and I raise up to 1,400. I get re raised by the BB, 1 fold, 1 all in. Back to me I raise and than the BB puts me all in. I had gotten my money in against just top pair for both. BB had KQ against my set of tens. I had just been 5 bet all in by nothing more than top pair. She has to catch perfect perfect in this spot to win this hand. Well, a jack fell on the turn, and a 9 fell on the river! Wouldn't you know it, lady luck was in her corner today as she catches her strait! This just goes to show, no matter how good you play nothing will beat dumb luck!
