Bad beats aren't even that bad, in my opinion.

As far as I can tell, most beats aren't bad at all.  Losing as an 80% with say AA vs 22-KK isn't bad, at least in my opinion it isn't.  I can't get upset losing 20/100 vs 22-KK when I'm winning 80/100.  I'm happy with that exchange 100% of the time.  In fact, thank goodness 22-KK wins 20% of the time because, if they didn't, I wouldn't be getting paid off by weaker hands. The losses are necessary for long term profitability.

Is losing as a 98% favorite a bad beat?  Not to me.  I mean, same thing as above, I'm winning so many many times that I can't not be upset losing to a 1 outer. In the long run I'm winning 99/100 times. That 1 loss is absolutely nothing to get upset about.

In fact, I'd be more impressed if the 2% actually hit because it's going to happen so infrequently that I'd probably have to congratulate my opponent on actually hitting it. It's such a longshot that how can I be upset?
