im playing a 6 handed mtt. about an hr or so in and im average stack on the button with 10 10.It folds to me and i raise 2BB. the bb calls. flop comes AA10. he bets pot and i shove. he turns over AA. pretty sick flop for me, but wud u consider this a bad beat or that i just got outplayed by someone willing to call their aces pre flop
Don't think you were outplay either. Only two hands that can beat you one the flop, A10 and AA. So your shove is ok, I would have put BB on a A + something.

Its worse when the guy has A10, i had 1010 in late possition and 2 people had limped, i raised 6.5xbb and i get one call, and the flop brings AA10, so that i what i call a beat bet since we were playing full ring and he was under the gun with A10off :S nasty really nasty..

Yeah I agree with everyone else. Really unlucky circumstances. No escape.
But I don't like the way he played those aces. The fact he got the max chips was down to the fact you had hit the flop. I don't get how he can call preflop ie late position and then bet out in early position with the stone cold nuts (unless one of the tens was suited). He knows you don't have an ace so what he can put you on to call except a pair of tens. Even 10k is hard pressed to call with two aces. He can't make it look like a bluff or continuation bet cos he called. I'd put him on an ace with a low kicker. He's practically begging you to try and bluff him. Of course he didn't know what good shape he was in.

No! Of course it is not a bad beat, but this kind of hand sometimes can be worst than a bad beat! You have a really strong hand the probability of your opponent have a bigger hand is very low!! But it happens, unfortunately. You couldnt do anything. Good luck at tables!

I agree with awood88: unlucky hand, and the other player actually played it really bad. With AA you want to get money in the pot before the flop, so at least he should have doubled your raise.
And the post-flop bet is just ridiculous! You would've never called or reraised hadn't you had the 10's, since he knows you don't have the aces. I guess he just thought "wow, I got a great hand, I have to bet!". So the next time you met him, you're gonna win

Posted by B1gfoot: I think you have to be ahead pre-flop for it to be a bad beat.(or that might be on the flop) Still sick.
yeah i agree if your behind then loose its a bad beat..
But unlucky you cant always account for those slow playing AA but if he had re-raised you woulod you have binned your pair? if he had re-raised you would you not go all in with full house even a vunrable one?
I dont think i would have gone all in but deffo re-raise to see where you are....... its possible you could get away from it......if your very sound player....not me lol
