I wouldn't say that was that bad of a beat. The guy flopped a nut flush draw and a gutshot nut straight draw. He had business being in the hand, especially since there wasnt any strong play demonstrated by any player before the river (a bet and a call). Nothing gave the impression that someone had flopped a boat, he figured at best trips, which if either of his 12 outs hit he had beat, or maybe 2 pair, which gave him another 3 outs with aces. Its definately an unfortunate situation to be in, flopping a boat and wind up being against a Royal Flush, but it wasnt a bad beat because the guy played the hand exactly the way he should of. He was allowed to draw for cheaply due to the passive play before the river, and he caught his hand. Definately still sucks to be at the end of that though...

yea but the definition I thought bad beat was needing 1 or 2 cards to win hand which he did he had to draw 1 card in order to beat my made house.
The only reason I played it soft was I had one guy betting into me and the other calling and wanted the flush to hit which it did. No offence to guy I would of been in hand in his same position.

A bad beat (at least to me) is more than needing 1 or 2 cards to win the hand...to me its when an opponent makes a call that he shouldnt of and winds up outdrawing a made hand...when someone wins a pot in a hand they had no business being in.....based on the defination of needing 1 or 2 cards to win the hand that would classify AA vs KK all in, and a K flops, a bad beat....its a tough beat, and its unfortunate yeah...but I wouldnt call it a bad beat because the guy played the cards the way he should of....If you flop a set and go all in and someone calls you on an inside straight draw and hits it, I consider that a bad beat...bc the guy had no business being in the hand to catch the lucky card.

As far as your play, I wasnt knocking it, I was just commenting that the passive play both pre flop, flop and turn, allowed him to stay in the hand (and he was right for doing so)...hey look on the bright side, it was 18 bucks...if you havent read my back to back $550 total story, take a look.......ugh that put a hurtin on me.

To add to the bad beat defination, somethin which I didnt realize I didnt include, or when a player calls in a hand where he is dominated and catches runner runner to win.....ex Pocket 9s vs AJ flop lands 9,J,2. He needs JJ or AA or JA....his call may or may not be correct with TP and TK, but he was so dominated and needed 2 runners, that it would be a bad beat as well
