So I'm playing a $1.20/45 on Stars, and I raise 5xBB in late position against one mid-position limper. All fold, except the limper, who calls.
Flop comes J99. Limper checks. All standard so far.
I push for about twice the pot. Probably unnecessary, but at such low limits I really feel like I need to restrict his calling range with a large bet, plus I'm pretty much committed on most decent sized bets.
Again, this is pretty standard so far. Sometimes I'll get called by a stupid straight draw, but mostly the limper will let go of his junk or low pair.
He calls with J9. Pants. I need running AA or running KK, with about a 0.6% chance. I suppose I can console myself by knowing that his call out of position with J9 was chimpish, even if they were sooted.
Does that count as a bad beat? I mean, I know that technically I was ridiculously behind when the money went in, but was I unluckily unlucky that the flop hit him so squarely in the nuts?
