What Constitutes a Bad Beat?

Yeah, I don't think that flush or straight draws should count either, because thats what they are, draws. They're meant to hit once in a while.

But when people have bottom pair and hold it to the river and end up hitting some two pair with their other low card, or even hitting trips, that's a bad beat.

thats like 5 outs to make there hand depending on the pot odds sometimes its ok to run that to river.
