Wouldn't call it a bad beat at all.

Isn't a bad beat when you get your money in with the best hand and a dominated hand out draws you?

If that is how you define bad beat then I have them all the time too. AK was 29.6% chance to win that hand from the flop til showdown. The hand was porly played as I see it. Never ever would I call that preflop raise with AQ. And then overplay it on the flop. The only reasonable hands he will make villian fold is KK and JJ. If villian has AA or QQ or AK he will call. And villian will only be behind on one of them. Overbetting that flop like that screams flushdraw to me, and if villian thought he was up agaist a draw he did right in calling. Even if he thought that hero sometimes will have two pair and sometimes flushdraw and combine them he would do a positive EV move by calling.

Bad beating another player does not nesceserily has to be a result of bad play, just a result of getting the money in with the worst hand. You can play correctly and still bad beat someone.
