finally 1 sort of bad beat for me

I am normally at the losing end of a bad beats by probably 90+95%...however this one was in my favor...it is not really a bad beat...but it sort of is.

my opponent with QQ bets all-in and I call his all-in with QQ.

The board lays out four to a flush and my Q matches.

I hate four flush boards, because I normally lose with them like the other day in a large tourney I flop two pair Aces over 7's...I try to get my opponent out and he won't leave...on the turn he hits two pair three's over two's and goes all-in...of course I call and the board lay's out a fourth club on the river and his 3 matches.

Hey It's one hell of a bad beat. If I was on the other side I would be pissed.

No bad beat there.Two good hands one was outdrawn.When you beat someone who has a better hand ... but your hand isnt a bad hand...is it a bad beat or just a tough beat?

Lets say his opponent raises 500 and Crapshoot calls.The flop comes up suited.Then his opponent goes all in and Crapshoot calls.
Is that a bad beat or just a bad bet? w...hen Crapshoot hits his flush?

Well I agree that it is a tough beat post flop because crap has a lsighter chance of winning. But I think Its a bad beat having the same hand and losing to a flush.

roflmao....It just happened to me in the 25k rebuy with 7s.Ill take it as a sign and play the 2 mtt instead.

I would say that isn't a bad beat. You both had good hands preflop. You just got lucky that you flushed and he got unlucky that you flushed.

It is just a tough beat for him. Like today I went all in against 3 times. Once I even had QQ. All three times I was facing AA and didn't get any help. Tough Beats for sure. But, if I had won I am not sure I would have called that a bad beat I pulled on someone.

I really think bad beats are only when you have a good hand and the other person has trash and beats you with it. At least that is my definition of a bad beat.

It feels like a bad beat right?

I've seen a hand just like that. Here is how it goes: three players are in the hand, and after a lot of reraising, all three are all-in preflop. One had KK, the other two both have AA. Obviously, the two with aces are drawing dead to make their sets. The flop is 2 cards of the same suit, plus one king, so now the person with KK is ahead. The turn is a third card of that same suit, and the river is the fourth of the suit (without the board ever pairing) so one guy with AA won with the nuts flush. I was not involved in the hand, but I was sitting at the table.
