Bad Beat or Cooler?

[MRNASTY1]

I can't answer because I don't know what a "cooler" is. Can you explain?

A hand in poker in which a person with a very strong hand (often the 2nd best possible hand) is beaten by the best possible hand (usually a full house, four of a kind, or straight flush). The 2nd best hand is so strong that it is nearly impossible to fold.

It depend's on WHEN it became the 2nd best hand, ie: the flop, the turn, or the river??

What a horrible RIVER to mess up that full house of yours and give the other player quad aces.

Better luck at the tables in future games!

This is a bad beat..considering what, he was about 2% postflop? But we all know thats how poker goes. Sick beat. Crazy how the 2% can feel like it happens 10% when it hits huh?

Dude had AQ preflop and would have called most any raise that you threw at him...one he hit trips on the turn he was in for it all, no way you are chasing him with any bet IMHO.

That's a harsh bad beat. When I think about it, I'm sure even if you played it a bit more aggressive, that he/she wouldn't fold their hand. Makes me sick when shit like this happens to me.
