Bad Beats / 100 Hands

What would people estimate are their bad beats per 100 hands? (Honestly, please). I define a bad beat as one player all in with one as a 60% or greater favorite, and the favorite losing.

I think that I am at .33-.5 / 100 hands playing at .25/.50 stakes. That's my rough guess. So, a pretty substantial bad beat every 200-250 hands. Anyone disagree or have different results?

I have no idea and don't even want to know. The more bad beats you take, the better the games you're in, though, right?

Well, it looks like I've got 40 bad beats/100 hands. Who knew?

You really think losing as a 60% fav is a bad beat? It takes something like a 4-5 outer to really bother me.

All in on the flop thats what? 80% fav?

.1 for me, depends what you consider a bad beat I guess.

Well, obviously you can create different definitions. I thought for purposes of the exercise that was a good number. It eliminates flush and OESD, which are somewhat legitimate because those are calculated risks.

The other thing is that some people may consider half their stack lost would qualify as a bad beat, so I figured greater monetary loss, lower percentage favorite.

Again, I think you can make arguments for a variety of definitions. I just thought that was a good definition for the discussion.

I've never taken a bad beat [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. But really how could you estimate this? Sometimes it seems like every other hand is a bad beat and other times you just can't lose. I will say this though, I lose much more to bad bluffs and bad play than I do to bad beats. JMO
