And KQ suited is? Preflop the KQs is about a 43 to 57 dog.

This is more of a bad beat story than a bad beat.

He made a bad call yet he will still win the pot 40% of the time. From his perspective if you had any hand other than the nut str8 or a set he becomes anywhere from a slight to a major favorite. Against the entire range of hands he might put you on from his perspective he made the right call.

Remember he cannot see your hand before he has to make his decision.
