Poker's Bad Beats

BAD BEATS? Subjective term for the defeat of the player who appeared to hold the strongest cards. We love playing poker.but sometimes we hate playing poker too. It can be cruel and exciting in equal measure. These 9 hands are perfect examples - they make us say 'ooooh" or "no way" and sometimes even 'OMG"! But what are they? Bad beat, cold decks or flips? You decide.
