I see so many players make horrible bets after taking a bad beat and wonder why. I get angry when i get a bad beat..as the other day in a 3.30 1500 guarantee on players only,,in the BB i get A/5 and A/5/6 come up on the flop....so,,,im thinking i have it,,check to induce a bet as there are 4 others in the pot,,,one raises about 5x BB and i shove,,villian calls and shows A/6,,,ahh well,,,,on to the next game,,,I get a little fluffed,,pissy even,,but dont take it into my next game,,I have begun to watch for big bets after a bad beat and sometimes will call with marginal hands,,,k/J is marginal to me,,and win more than i lose when i call those bad bets,,,I dont know what makes people bet like that,,especially when they still have a fighting chance to come back,,,at any rate,,anyone else notice this terrible pattern with some players????

That's really not a bad beat. That's just running into a better hand. I just got cleaned out cuz my third nut flush ran into the nut flush. Ace rags are dangerous hands anyhoo.

It's much worse to have people call you when they have less than 6 outs and nail them on the river like clockwork

Yes I notice this all the time. Some players just can't handle losing a big hand and kind of give up.

Same, or stealing a lot/raising a lot with mediocre cards from position then getting KK/AA next hand and playing against big stacks or short stacks that cant be pushed off hands as easily and will try and bluff you, thinking ur bluffing them... :D.

I agree but 95% of the time when they bet liek that after a bad beat they got nothing. And it's basically free chips for whoever got dealt a good hand. If they dont get unlucky.
