Its his first post - maybe he needs clarification.

A 'bad beat' is typically referred to as a beat where someone gets lucky against you (sucks out) in some crazy manner or if they were making a bad play. It doesnt necessarily have to be a 'bad play' by the opponent for people to cry about their 'bad beat'. For example, you have AA and flop is rags. You bet and opponent calls. Turn is rags - you go all-in and he calls and shows you KK. Not really a bad play by him - but river is a K. This would get posted as a 'bad beat'. Now same situation with the rag board and the guy has bottom pair with five kicker and calls your all-in turn bet and he catches his five - that is also a bad beat.

Your 'beat' was more of a bad-timing/unlucky thing.
