What is a bad beat?!

[JBrazon]

I know the true meaning of a bad beat, but I always hear what others "think" a bad beat really is...so let's hear everyone's "ideas" of what they consider a bad beat.

I had one the other day on lock. Had full house with aces and kings, lost when someone produced the fourth ace, admit I was pretty mad at the time since it put me out of the 50 seats and I was at 78th position.

IMO this is NOT a bad beat.

A bad beat imo is when you are significantly ahead when money goes in the pot but you lose to the remaining cards.

Ex. Say you hold 33.

Pre Flop Oppo bets to 3BB and you call.
Flop comes 23T rainbow.
you make a 1/2 pot bet oppo raises you all in and shows AA.
Well you are significantly ahead but he can still catch one of his two outs, if he catches one of these outs that is a bad beat.

its what you get everytime you play me

You have to consider at what time e chips went in. At that point you hav?e to see the %age.. I would say when u bet high, but have less than 15% thats a bad beat

[wagon596]

My thoughts, a 15% or less would be a bad beat.

[MrGutsy]

A significant exchange in chips while being ahead by 90%+

[cheffry]

bad beat is aces full against quads

[nate]

I would say 19 percent or less is as kk vs qq preflop the kk is about a lil over 81 percent the qq is about 19 percent,thats preflop if nothing comes on flop for qq it drops to about 9 percent on the turn.....
