I'm new to online poker and suffered an number of bad beats. Naturally, I didn't take it very well. But, yesterday I was on the giving side of a couple of bad beats on they go like this:
I was dealt Ad/Qc my main oppenent was dealt As/Kd(though at the time I didn't know it). Flop came 9d 10d Ah. Betting then the turn came 3d. Lots of betting and only two of us as the river came up 5d. I won with the Ad high flush.
Another hand I was dealt A/K my main oppnenet got a K/K. The flop came A rag rag. Betting to the max, the turn came a K. With only the two of us left, the river came A. Lots of betting my A's full of K's bet his K's full of A's.
Morale: I don't think any of my bad beats came close to these two hands last night . Need to re-think bad beats.

They don't really sound like bad beats. You had every right to be in those hands as you can't really put your opponents on those hands and it looks like in the second hand your opponent may have overplayed a little.

Congrats on the nice pots.
