bad beats

[hellabelly2]

what actually classifies as a bad beat? do you have to loss alot of money or chips for it to be considered?

[Hawk]

Finding poker threads in the commune, and apparently no.

It wouldn't be semantically incorrect to refer to a 10bb pot where villain won with a dogged hand when the money got in as a bad beat; however, whining about such a small pot might result in you being referred to as a female animal or body part.

jyms is gonna be pissed when he sees this.

[BennyLaRue]

This is why we should fear change.

I blame Pascal for moving the Commune back to the top, but on a up note, the idiot filter is easier to use. I can just ban these cumdump fucknots because they obviously can't read what forum is what so they are never going to become qualified posters under our current guidelines.

I've read my first several posts on these forums, and I'm fairly certain I would have failed this test. Of course, some might argue that this place would be better off if I got banned 2500 posts ago, but that argument would make me sad, so why would some do that to me?

I told you he'd be angry.

Also to make this thread worthy of something, does anyone else wonder who the fuck is messaging them when they hear the skype noise on the TV commercials when they advertise for these new phones?

His post made me think of Lou Ferrigno

The meaning is changing; "bad beat" is used differently today than it was 10 years ago.

Originally, a bad beat would be if you lost, but got your chips in as at least a 2:1 favorite. I don't think many people 10 years ago would have considered 60/40 a bad beat situation.

Now, most times I hear "bad beat", the use is equivalent to the all-caps above.

I know man, they just beat it into us until it's common.

Is catching aids of a woman a bad beat?

i can't wait for the definition of bad beat to evolve so if you get it in bad, and lose, it's a bad beat.

in fact, it's used this way in some cases. i've heard people at the table tell me it was a bad beat since it was the 4th time that night they missed their flush.

[givememyleg]

which of course is true, but you know what i mean.

[kiwiMark]

I hate bad beats. Like when you think alright I'm gonna stop nnnow to keep it going for just a bit more but then you realise it was half a second too late but you ruined it by stopping so you're left feeling like you want to try to get it going again but it's never gonna happen. Nut low.

[d0zer]

Nut low.

bad beats, at least online, are always your own fault. i think,and correct me if i'm wrong, the way rng works is it keeps shuffling all remaining cards before it plops the turn/river/whatever down. so when you call allin on the turn, you just need to time it right.

This is correct and is the main idea behind most of the theory being released in books these days. Combinatrics is great and all, but math goes to a better use if you can actually figure out what hand you'll end up with!

Nevermind, I don't want this to be read by an idiot and next thing you know I'm responsible for the next wave of poker's rogged rumors.

[BooG690]

Did this REALLY become a thread about poker in the commune? jyms, do something!

[jyms]

Not my forum, so not my call.
