    What is Bad Beat in poker?

    A bad beat is a loss suffered by a hand that was a significant statistical favorite before the money went in. A classic example is pocket aces losing to 72o after the underdog hits a straight on the river. Bad beats are an unavoidable part of poker's variance and happen to every player who plays enough volume — they are not proof of a mistake, and dwelling on them is a common trigger for tilt.
