Very good, very bad

Just came from Yahoo poker, where our pocket 6's turned into QUAD 6's -- on the turn! We checked with lead position on the turn, and a couple of other players bet behind us. Shame on them. It turned into a $98 pretend (boo hoo) payoff.

But our recent record of bad beats included one at Yahoo as well....

BLINDS: 1/2 (pretend; $12-$20 limits)

IN THE POCKET: J-J

A nice start, and several people join in betting.

ON THE FLOP: 7-7-?? (we forget the third card, and it doesn't matter)

As we recall, our Jacks were an overpair. So we bet, and a few others stick around.

ON THE TURN: ?? (we forget this one, too)

We don't recall any straight or flush threat. So we bet again, and one other opponent remains.

ON THE RIVER: 7.

We bet and get called. Could our opponent have a pocket pair of his own?

Nope. Try a fourth 7. We get burned and lose. Call it the other side of the quad.
