a very bad beat

[villaridge]

Ok, this is what wikipedia says about bad beats:

In poker, bad beat is a subjective term for a hand in which a player who had what appeared to be strong cards nevertheless loses. It most often occurs where one player bets the clearly stronger hand and their opponent makes a poor call that eventually "hits" and wins. There is no consensus among poker players as to what exactly constitutes a bad beat and often players will disagree about whether a particular hand was a bad beat.

Any hand that looked like a favorite to win can end up losing as more cards are dealt, but bad beats usually involve one of two scenarios:

• The player who wins via a bad beat is rewarded for mathematically unsound play. Calling a bet despite having neither the best hand nor the right pot odds to call, then winning anyway, is characteristic of this type of bad beat. It can also involve the inferior hand catching the ideal cards when it requires two cards in a row to come from behind to win the pot. For example, catching cards on both the turn and the river in Texas hold 'em that complete a straight or a flush.

• A very strong hand loses to an even stronger one. This type of beat occurs with some frequency in movies. In the films The Cincinnati Kid and Casino Royale, The Kid and Le Chiffre each lose with a full house to a straight flush.

well unfortunately you must not have been playing from ap because i think you win the bad beat jacpot if you lose like that im not sure if some 1 else could let me know id appreciate it.

most sites that do have a "bad beat jackpot".only pay out if quads get beat by a royal flush

i agree he had me dominated preflop. and i agree it isnt a bad beat in the sense that i had him dominated preflop but if u hit a set on flop u pretty much have to call any bet or raise after that and when u hit quads on turn your supposed to win that hand . so him rivering a higher quads was a bad beat for me. lol. but he did have best hand and best hand won

I would think that quads over quads would be extremely close to impossible but you must be very, very unlucky if that happened to you, but it would be nice to play in a site with a bad beat jackpot because you would of definitely won it, and the only bad beat jackpot i seen was on youtube when it was a straight flush over a higher straight flush (not royalflush) at Absolute Poker.
