Was it a bad beat?

sugarspun

Just played in my second tourney and cashed in 5th so quite happy.

But my flush and straight draw knocked me out on the following hand

#229748784 (19:18 02/02/2010)

I had Q+J diamonds and flop came small D, K, 10 D

Did I play the hand right by going all-in?

Sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, new to this site

welcome to the forum

We cant see the hand, you need to actually copy and post it.

If you open the hand history up, find the hand you want, open that up, highlight  the whole of the actual hand, then paste it in the thread, then people will be able to give you advice

Hi and welcome

Completely depends on things like stack sizes, your opponent, how you've been plying etc.  However, you have flopped a monster hand and in a lot cases I'll be trying to get all the money in the pot.

However in answer to your question it is unlikely to be a bad beat.  Just one of those pots where you lose on a flip or as a 65% favourite.

I put ash on a King, but not on Diamonds!

If as just had a K of spades or clubs, what are my odds on winning on a draw for a flush and a straight? And what are the odds if I'm only on a flush draw, or only on a straight draw?

If he had K7 with no diamonds, you are 56% favourite.
If you just had 2 low diamonds with no chance for a straight (and he had none) you would be 36% dog.
If you had the open ended straight draw (and no-one had a flush draw) you would be a 34% dog.

Thanks for that

On a side note, what is the structure on the Satellites?
