(suck*out) noun
In Texas Hold'em, if you have a strong poker hand that is beaten by another player who had a poor hand but got lucky or "hit their draw", it's called a suckout. Sometimes called a Bad Beat.
The term is most often used if someone makes a poor move by calling a huge bet with nothing, then catches two or more miracle cards for the win. eg. "Wow, you had KJ? When the flop came JK9 and you went all-in I was sure you were bluffing so I called with my 35. Good thing I caught running 3s for the set!"

Imagine is someone went all-in and you have one of these!
