Message: [QUOTE="dallam, post: 6825766, member: 338743"] As there's a saying: " It's just a bad beat, you should move on". For me it is the closest to the reality - When you were logically right to get into that action, you had a big lead as well, but all of a sudden opponent hits the perfect out or runner-runner. I think that bad-beats meaning is not a written thing in poker, in fact people pressing enormous numbers of cases under this name. In my eyes it's not really a bad-beat when both of you had a solid read and chance to grab the party, but one increased a huge lead by the cards fallen - but when s1 was out of the line or making a very weak or risky move and still gets there, the other could have a bad beat. Good beat? Maybe a succesfull bluff or a very smooth overfold by a perfect read? [/QUOTE]
