yeah, it is a bad beat, but I would like to know how you played it. Did you go all in right after the flop or the river?? but it certainly sucks to lose with a set of Aces. good luck in the future.

Nice runner runner. But you must understand your opponent. Heads up and with two aces on the flop he surely thought his kings with queen kicker were good.

Bad beat..it would be interesting what happened before showdown... Was it an allin after flop? I think so... But if not, A10 wasn't a very good hand.. But the flush was also a big luck..that happens in pokr, so don't panic!

Posted by away112: this is not really unexpected bad beat if you slow played it, but if you went all in or made big rise on flop then it is very sick bad beat.

Either way it nothing to make a post about, you have to realise that in this position you are what? A 25 to 1 favorite, meaning that you will loose this kind of hand once every 25 hands, my guess is that you played your entire bankroll at the same time and that is why you lost. So odds say that you might have been able to double up here and maybe a few more times but pretty soon the odds of loosing just one of those hands would gang up on you and you are out of there. So with proper bankroll management that would be nothing to you, just a small part of your roll.
Dont really think this is a bad beat at all,more of a common beat in my opinion. Probly had a pretty good sized pot pre,then the other player just improved. I coulda easly folded on the turn. AA vs AA now thats a bad beat 5 diomonds come on th board and you have the Ac and As 200 euroes down the tube

I've had top sets loosing to under pairs making quads on turn and river, point to realise that poker is a game of probabilities, you have to accept and even expect the bad beats that will come now and again and follow bankroll management to support the possiblities of loosing every kind of hand because if it can happen i probably will in the long run, which is the only way you can rely on poker making a profit regardless of your abilities.

I agree with johnnyjumper, its a bad beat but not a big 1, these things happen. On flop your oponent has 25% change of winning the hand (not 25% but litt less). So its not really a badbeat, but i think a very sad lost
It depends on your way of playing. Did you go all in after flop ? If yes, as for me, it's a unlucky bad beat. Otherwise ( slowplay ) I think you made a mistake.
