About 75% of the bad beats I've seen are because the good hands are slow played. If I'm allowed to see a flop for the price of a check, I'll play anything and every now and again hit. When this happens, the "expert" player usually freaks out and gets nasty or abusive. The way I see it, make folks pay to see a flop. Last month I was at a 1/2 table, in the big blind with 7-2o. I saw the flop for the price of a check and the flop was 7-7-2. Yep, I had a boat and beat the two players that had KK and QQ although I didn't raise until after the river.
They both went on tilt and proceeded to spend more time typing nasty chat comments than focusing on their hands. Needless to say I pocketed about $125 from that table that night. (Gave it back the next night however...) The moral as I see it is: Make them pay to play...
