Let me clarify. In my original reply, I wasn't suggesting that it wasn't a bad beat. I misread the original post (one reason I hate posting raw hand histories) and thought the guy who flopped the boat was the one who limit-raised preflop. In that context, I thought he set himself up to be called by too many hands. Then the flop action is so wimpy that you really can't fault the guy with 55 for calling, and on the turn he has zero reason to not think his hand is good.
Once I realized that it was the 55 guy who minraised, my entire perception of the hand changed.
