Default Re: Avoiding Bad Beats

If someone flops a higher set than me more power to him and he can have my money. I will not lay down a set unless there is a very high probability he has a flush(4 flush on board) or straight(consecutive cards)

Badbeats are part of poker, but what you are talking about is not a bad beat. If you flop a set and he flops a higher set it means you were behind to begin with so its not a bad beat, same with higher 2 pair. For a bad beat you have to be ahead in the hand and then he outdraws you on a miracle. Someone hitting a flush on you with a reasonable draw isnt a bad beat either.
