Nuts Poker Bad Beat Blues
Bad beats: the poker player’s scourge – we all end up on the wrong end of them and we all dish them out.
If you suffer a particularly bad beat while playing at NutsPoker and send your hand number to Support@nutspoker.com they’ll report it in the Featured Nuts section of the Nuthouse and share your pain with the entire NutsPoker community.
NutsPoker will also credit one player with a $25 bonus by way of consolation.
Remember: getting your pocket aces cracked after going all-in pre-flop is NOT a bad beat, it happens about 20% of the time, so get over it…
If your quad aces lose to a straight flush, THAT’S what we want to hear about!
Bad Beat Blues Terms and Conditions
Bad beat is the term poker players use to describe a situation where a huge favourite loses a hand to a massive underdog on the unlikely turn of a card.
The term is also used when a player with a monster hand loses to a player with an even stronger hand.

Granted, it may feel like one to YOU, but a sentence containing the words “I was all-in pre-flop…” generally has little to do with a bad beat!
(If, like Godsmack singer Sully Erna at the WSOP, your four aces lose to a royal flush, that’s a bad beat!!).
