you consider those bad beats?

I would say those instances are more like the luck of the draw. i would not classify that as a bad beat. What happened to me the other night was a bad beat. I flopped quad 4's and my opponent flopped 5's full, the river brought another 5 to make his quads. Now that i would consider a bad beat.

I dont think if you get your aces cracked by kings its a bad beat. People sometimes are so quick to blame losing a hand a badbeat when its just the way the cards fall. I think sometimes its more on the level of kicking the ass of the guy that calls your all in with AA with a 5 3 and beats you. Mathematically it is very possible and it will happen periodically.

Here is another situation in which i consider a very very bad beat. I was playing a 3 table tourney here at the casino here in miami. I was at the final table with about 5 people left. 1st position goes all in ( he was a big short stack about 300 units more than the big blind ) i look down and have KK, so i obviously think for that split second if he has aces. I'm positive he doesnt so i then call, he ended up having 33. The flop comes 8 10 K, giving me trips and him far far behind. At that point its about 98% to 2%. The turn comes a three, big deal huh? The river comes a 3, giving him quads.

Now that is what you can consider a huge bad beat.
