A7 is a decent hand heads up, its not the strongest though.  You did have your opponent beat heads up but only my a small edge.  Your opponent still had a 40% chance of winning with 5 cards to come.  You lost and you got beat, but it wasnt a bad beat.  Bad call by your opponent?  Yes, but what are you going to do, right?

A bad beat is when your hand loses to huge underdog.  Losing to someone catching a flush or an opponent ended straight is not a bad beat.  Losing to a one outer is.

Take this scenario for example that I witnessed at a casino tournament.
Its the first hand.  Starting chips is 5,000 and blinds are 25/50.

Player to the right of me is mid position and raises it to 200.  I fold and the player on my left calls.  The table folds to the raiser.  The flop is A 5 6, with not suits matching.  Raiser checks, caller checks.  The turn is a 5.  Raiser bets out 3/4 the pot, caller reraises big, OR goes all in and the caller calls.

Person on my right shows 55 for quads.
Person on my left shows 66 for a boat.
They had both flopped a set.

The river is a 6.
