Tommy Angelo Fantasy Hand vs Mason ... Help

[frank_iii]

Ok, I just saw this in Mid-High:

AA on Button

[ QUOTE ]
I've played a dozen times with Mason but it's been a while, not since I somewhat started somewhat playing somewhat like him.

In my fantasy it goes like this. Mason and I both get pocket aces. He is in the BB and I am on the button. Everyone folds to me and I limp. The SB folds, and Mason checks.

The flop is 2-2-2. Mason checks and I check.

The turn is a 2. Mason checks and I check.

The river is a 3. Mason bets, and I respectfully just call.

During the chopping of the pot, I speak for the first time in decades and I say, "Bad bet on the river, Mason."

And he says, Yeah, I know."

Perhaps I'm giving a gag far too much thought, but I really want to understand this riddle. What is the bad beat?

I'm much too timid to actually post in that forum so I'm asking here. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

It's a bad bet, not a bad beat. It's a bad bet because Tommy will only call with a hand that ties Mason, so there's no value in betting, though the comment is mostly a toungue-in-cheek remark at Tommy and Mason's respective playing styles.

ARGH, so much thought I could have saved by just CAREFULLY re-reading it. I must have read that line 10 times and still read bad "beat". Groan.
