Is this a "bad beat" or just poor playing ?

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.

I thought 66 55 was a decent hand.

I guess any "flop pairs" always have the potential for a fullhouse, so should I really only be playing two pairs when I have two different hole cards paired with the board? ... and no other pairs showing on the board?

What would you want to have for hole cards in order to call with that flop?

Or do you mean you would have raised ... or folded with my hand?
