Overvaluing a Big Pair (cash)

BAD BEAT/DEFINITION

When you overvalue a hand, you believe it is much stronger (and therefore much more profitable) than it really is. Just because you have a big hand doesn't mean it is the best hand. You have to remember that other players could have hands that are even bigger. In this case, Player 1's raise of Player 7's re-raise should have alerted 7 that his queens weren't worth squat.
