A bad beat to me is when someone catches a 5-6 or less outer on the river, or runner runners a hand. This is compounded if A. you played a great hand, or B. your opponent had no business being in the hand or calling bets after the flop/turn.

Well, I think a bad beat in limit isn't so much like a NL bad beat.
I mean sure odds are odds, but in NL you're meant to be able to protect your hands. So losing a 5 outer when the guy is only getting 2:1 on his money imho hurts way more than in limit where they're often getting much better pot odds. Yes, I just lost to a 5 outer when someone was getting 1.8:1 on his money... I love this game  .Cheers, Gutzz |

Yeah, I think a bad beat in NL pretty much requires you being all in while being ahead by a considerable margin, and then losing. Otherwise you had time to fold before showdown where you recieved the bad beat.
But in Limit, any time you had the by far best hand and pushed as hard as you could and someone catches a draw which they statistically should have folded its a bad beat. |

i think that you can only whine about a bad beat when you played the hand right. i am not saying you have to play it perfectly, because that isnt really always possible, but you cant bitch and moan when you lket someone stay in a hand and then they hit it.
for the beat itself, i think that you have to be at least a 5:1 favorite after the turn. i dont think that getting outdrawn by a flush draw or outside straight draw is considered a bad beat, because those players probably had the odds to make the calls at the end. |
