Any hand that looked like a favorite to win can end up losing as more cards are dealt, but bad beats usually involve one of two scenarios:
The player who wins on a bad beat is rewarded for mathematically unsound play. Calling a bet despite having neither the best hand nor the right pot odds or implied odds to call, then winning anyway, is characteristic of this type of bad beat. It can also involve the inferior hand catching running cards when it requires two cards in a row to come from behind to win the pot. For example, catching cards on both the turn and the river in Texas hold 'em that complete a straight or flush.

man that site sucks, dont understand why you'd go to the trouble of writing that big post on the subject..... anyway, thanks for the info.

this is not an online poker site bud, this is a casino that is having a series there. that is what this post is about, live action casinos. entries are for the HPO main event Championship in Las Vegas.

Good luck! There are some great poker rooms in LA and you will regret it if you don't take advantage and go to at least one some night. Let us know how you end up doing. Wish you the best of luck! You will probably see a handful of celebrities in the poker rooms there. I met Mike "Quick" Swick and Bruce Buffer from the UFC when I played in Los Angeles about five years ago.

How much is first place usually? Its not too far away.

1st place is always a decent payout, last WPT event I played first took 80k. Next event 1st place gets not only the prize money, but also a brand new Harley Davidson! I will post a picture of the room and the Harley up for grabs, they moved it upstairs so there are more tables. A group of us have already been once, and we want to get as many PO members in the area to join us next time!
