A bad beat means, that one player was significantly ahead early in the hand, but then got drawn out on and ended up losing. There is no clear definition of, what “significantly ahead” means, and sometimes we might react emotionally like, it’s a bad beat, when our TT lose to AQ all-in preflop. Or when our flopped top pair end up losing to an opponent, who flopped a flushdraw with a live overcard. But realistically those situations are not bad beats, since we are supposed to lose them almost as often, as we win them.

A cooler is a situation, where two players both have so strong hands, that it would be a significant mistake by the player with the worst hand to not play for all the chips. The most classic example is KK vs. AA preflop, unless when stacks are very deep, and there is crazy action. Coolers can also turn into bad beats, if in this example all the chips go in preflop, as they should, and KK then ends up winning. Other example of typical coolers are set over set on a dry board and flush over flush with only 3 cards to a flush on the board.
