Bad Beat
A bad beat is a hand in which a player whose hand was highly favoured is beaten in an improbable turn of events. The boundary between a regular beat and a bad one varies from player to player. It's is generally thought that a winning hand whose chances of winning were around 5-10% is a bad beat, or if a player wins by hitting two perfect cards.Here is an example of a bad beat in Texas Hold'em:
| Player A | Player B |

| Flop | Turn | River |
