To there there are bad beats and then there are truly bad beats.

When you have kings and get caught by aces some would call it a bad beat.  Its a cooler for sure but this is not what I would call a bad beat as this should happen 1 in 25 times you get kings. Dont get me wrong its close. but when would we stop calling it a bad beat? pocket 2's running into 3's have the same odds but I dont think many would consider it a bad beat.

So we get to the flop and I flop a king against your aces. considering the odds you had to win the had is only 17% preflop this is something I would call a bad beat on the aces.

So what is a truly bad beat?  I have seen many over the years. I truly bad beat is a hand that should be so far ahead at the point they get beat that's is rare.  if you hand has over 90% chance to win that is a true bad beat.  There are 2 I can recall that really define bad beats.  One was a player with Pocket queens vs AdJd.  The flop was Qd Td and something like a 5. The turn was a Q.  With quad queens this guy has 97.73% chance of winning the hand,  Yes the Kd showed on the river.

Once I gave a players a bad one.  I had Pocket Queens and he had Queens. The door card was a queen but the 2nd card was the king,  Set over set. On the river the case queen showed up for a nice pot for me.  That would be a truly bad beat.
