Re: Is this a \"bad beat\" or just poor playing ?
1. You don't need to show the results, unless you put it in a font color that hides it. The results won't make a good play bad, or a bad play good.
2. You have a relatively large stack, and you got involved with the one player who could bust you. Unless you think the player is capable of semi-bluffing the pot with a heart draw on the flop, you're either way ahead or way behind. I wouldn't have called the pot-sized bet on the flop.
3. Turn bet - it's plausible that he could be playing with aces or fives, but it's understandably difficult to fold a full house, and the push to make him pay to see the last card is a good bet, since he's already signalled that he has a hand and will likely pay you off. At that point, it's just poor luck.
