Re: Good Logic or Bad Beat?
It all depends on the numbers. When B went all-in, A had to figure what he might have had. As it happens, he had a good hand, but that's not always true. Plus A appears to have had a decent hand, with a chance of beating a very good hand (since that happened) and possible a good chance of beating a pretty good hand. So A's call might have been sound, or borderline or stupid. I don't think you should call it a bad beat if A was just lucky, he has to be both stupid and lucky.
Even if it was stupid, you don't say how many outs A had. If it was more than three, I don't really consider that a bad beat. Someone will draw one of 4 cards out of 44 one hand in 11. A true bad beat should be a very unlikely draw, especially if it requires both a lucky turn and lucky river card.
