I've been drinking a bit tonight before hopping online, but I hardly think that someone with four to the flush on the flop hitting can be a bad beat...True, he should not have called to be +EV, but its not the first time people have gone against the odds and hit. I think of bad beats as being four outs or less. He had a good percentage to hit. For his odds to be right, he either needed 2 to 1 basically...plus his implied odds. With you hitting the straight, I'm sure he had decent implied odds but not the correct ones
