![]() One of the points of argument is about what exactly makes a hand a ‘Bad Beat’, with most venues defining their own rules. Some casinos and poker rooms offer what is known as a ‘Bad Beat Jackpot’ to make that pill slightly easier to swallow, seeing a player with a ‘Bad Beat’ of a hand paid a jackpot regardless. What about when you have a decent hand and just get beaten by a better one? That’s when it becomes a slightly more bitter pill to swallow, given you’ll likely have done everything right but simply came up against someone with kinder cards than you. Holding on to a hand in the hope that something will turn your way as the community cards comes out is a way to get yourself into trouble and to be tempted to bluff your way out of it, resulting in painful losses as often as fortunate wins. It’s also where the phrase ‘know when to Hold’em and known when to fold’em’ comes from, with the importance of letting go of bad hands a key part of any poker player’s strategy. Losing in poker might sting a little, but it’s to be expected given how many hands you’ll play in any given sitting. ![]()
