It is actually a leak. People want to categorize and dismiss a hand, and say 'it was just a bad beat', rather than look at the quality of their play or decisions. I am not even sure what a bad beat is any more. Is it a suckout where you got your money in good wiuth 70+% equity, and lost? Is it a cooler where play strongly with a nuttish hand, only to lose to a bigger hand? The term has begun to lose precise meaning.
