Not too long ago Bart said something that I'd never really thought about. When you get AA in against KK, you're about 80%. You feel like you're entitled to win, but the truth is that when you do win, you're actually 20% above expectation.
 
Hero got the money in bad in a game where the disparity of the EV is determined by starting hands, its a bad beat.

Playing bad and hitting good happens to everyone, including good players. The real tragedy here is the Hero seems to over look how the Villian trapped him up, 6 outs out of 36? And that was after the flop.

If you can't see this as a bad beat, and think the best player is always going to win, well that might be a leak you want to take a look at :cool

I'm rooting for the hero, getting it in bad and winning feels great, its going to happen to everyone.
