So what is a Bad Beat anyway?
What is generally universally considered a bad beat?
I think we can all agree Negreneau's fullhouse getting beat by Hansens quads is a bad beat.
However, just because you have a "good" hand and lose, that doesn't qualify it as a "bad beat" does it?
And while we are clarifying what all these poker terms mean. Lets define "suck out" too. I recently recall wanting to choke out an idiot that wouldn't shut his pie hole on how I "sucked out" on him (that didn't come out right) when I went all in post-FLOP with K-10 on Board of K-10-8 and he had AK. According to him, if someone wins without the best pre-flop starting hand means they sucked out on whomever they beat. |
