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.
