Default What Constitutes a Bad Beat?

I am interested in people's opinions on what consititutes a bad beat. I think people have many idea's of what this could be. Here are some things I hear:

1. My AJ flopped AAJ and was beaten on the river by AK.
2. The guy hit his gutshot on the river
3. He got his 1 outer on the river

Here is what I think a really bad beat is comprised of:

1. You must be favored by ALOT pre-flop. Like AA vs 72o or something stupid like that.
2. You have to play your hand right. If you did not raise your aces pre-flop, and 72o is the button and the flop is 772, then too bad. You would not have been beaten at all if you raised like you were supposed to. Stop trying to be such a fancy pants!
3. You need to lose some money here. I mean how bad of a beat could it really have been if you only lost five bucks in a 3/6 game? At least get bubbled out of the tourney or something.

Just some thoughts I had on the subject. Anyone want to add anything?
