Oh please, garden variety bad beats are a dime a dozen.

Now, at my table we got shorty all in with QQ and "villain" with 88. Flop, Q44, villain congratulates shorty on a nice hand. I make the mistake of pointing out that "villain" could still runner-runner quads.

You do the math...

Being all-in PF --> not a bad beat, just a funny way to lose an 80/20 match-up.

So according to you, it is not a bad beat to be an 80/20 favorite when the money goes in, then a 99/1 favorite after the flop, and lose?

What exactly would qualify as a bad beat in your world? And what color is the sky there?

Psychologically, a bad beat, sure. As in QQ guy saw the flop and said, 'aw, hells yeah!'
But technically, still just a standard above average 80/20 beat, considering that's where the money went in.
There are comments about this every day, how can you have almost 1000 posts and not know this.

P.S. That 'what color is the sky' stuff is lame.
