Is this a bad beat ,or ???

[alwagner]

I have never found out what a bad beat is

[spiersey]

I would say no.

You did put all your money in with the best hand and get out drawn, but I wouldn't classify that as a bad beat.

I think bad beats are more like post flop when you have very near the nutz and someone hits a 2 outer to beat you or a runner runner etc.

But people have different definitions of a bad beat, some people think that if they lose its a bad beat but if they donk some one they are the best player ever.

I agree with spiersey, and have to add my opinion: preflop all in never can be bad beat cause it's like a race (even if you have AA) and some1 can catch straight, suit, flush... etc.

Ok, thank you – that’s what I thought to – perhaps because it happened on river I got “confused”

I agree with the previous 2 posts, you had the other hand dominated, but at the same time you were also vulnerable to runner runner and getting outflopped. With the blinds so high I wouldn't even say it was a bad call by the villain. Better luck next time, I absolutely hate those 4 card flushes because I'm usually on the wrong end of them
