Has anyone won a badbeat jackpot online?

#1 23rd March 2009, 3:04 AM

Has anyone won the badbeat jackpot online? Or know someone personally who has? There are several sites out there that have the badbeat jackpots. I played at absolute and carbon and came close. I flopped quad AAAA and the other player missed a royal flush.

One of the members of CardsChat won one recently, only about twenty years old IIRC...

#3 23rd March 2009, 3:11 AM

yea he won a huge one at UB - there is a thread about it somewhere.

#4 23rd March 2009, 3:11 AM

Not I but am interested in the responses you get. Good question.

wow didn't expect a yes to this answer. nice to see a forum member take down a bad beat jackpot. from the sounds of his answers he seemed like a good guy and probably deserved it. thanks for the thread about about the winner.

I have never personally won one online,came real close plenty of times but never online.
I was involved in a badbeat live once though.
I had kk my oponent had aa ,flop cme A,K,blank.turn brought another K giving me quad K's and them A full,.
Unfortuantly the jackpot was only up to around 30,000 or so.

Yeah, let's hope that Carbon don't decide to change the Terms & Conditions...

The ultimatebet one is probably the best chance to hit, it hits regularily like 1-2 times a week. Plus, you can get a table share or perhaps a few hundred $$ if it hits in the stakes you are playing.

Its currently at $560,000 which is abnormally large, its attracted a shitton of players on UB right now, im debating depositing to try and get a slice.

#11 23rd March 2009, 6:25 PM

One of my close friends was at the same table stakes on UB when it hit and he got ~$300 or so.

I was at one of the bad beat tables where a bad beat happened, but it wasn't high enough. One guy had Quad 5's and got beat by Quad A's, but it has to be Quad 8's or higher to be considered a Bad Beat at UB. Oh well.

#12 23rd March 2009, 6:36 PM

Very good question,Id like to know also.When the Merge BB was a million or more,I tried the Badbeat table.I ended up losing $20 on Reefer poker.

I thought the question had already been answered.

#14 24th March 2009, 7:11 AM

I would love to even be at the same table, not alone win one. I wonder if they would ever happen at the lower jackpot tables like 25/50 cents...It seems to me it would only happen on the higher stakes tables..But I wouldn't know this for sure. I'd like to see the stats on which stakes have hit the most jackpots and how often they hit??

#15 24th March 2009, 4:34 PM

It has happened numerous times at the .25/.50 tables on UB.

#16 24th March 2009, 5:35 PM

I had QQ once and hit quads on the flop.
Then a guy hits a royal flush on the river with J10.

#17 24th March 2009, 6:47 PM

Today was the first time I've ever seen a board that could even accomodate the BBJ. One of the guys was calling for a Q on a x K K Q board and the Q came but he was just bluffing it.

I've played more on UB the past couple of days than I had in the past month since their BBJ is over $600k now.

#18 24th March 2009, 7:19 PM

I am too Ted. Be nice to get a chunk of that $670K

#19 24th March 2009, 7:42 PM

Apparently the UB jackpot was missed very recently (it was at $350K at the time) because 2 idiots failed to bet on any street during this hand:

Absolute Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed)

Button ($34.50)
SB ($60.05)
BB ($28.05)
UTG ($49.82)
UTG+1 ($57.82)
MP1 ($32.55)
Hero ($51)
CO ($17.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with T♣, 2♠.
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 raises to $2, 6 folds, UTG calls $1.50.

Flop: ($4.75) 7♣, Q♥, J♥ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

Turn: ($4.75) T♥ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

River: ($4.75) 8♣ (2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks.

Final Pot: $4.75

UTG has 9h 8h (straight flush, queen high).
UTG+1 has Kh Ah (straight flush, ace high).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins $4.75.

Had the final pot been $5 or more the rake would have been .25 which is the minimum required for a hand to qualify for the BBJ at UB. By not even making a min bet at some point the hand failed to qualify and both players lost out on THOUSANDS of $$.

#20 24th March 2009, 7:46 PM

Oh my. wow. what...the. uhh

#21 24th March 2009, 7:51 PM

I might be wrong, but from what I understand on CEREUS's BBJ, you need to use both of the cards in your hand in order for it to qualify.

In fact, here is the rules for the Bad Beat Jackpot on the CEREUS Network:

Quote:

How do I qualify for the Bad Beat Jackpot?

In order to qualify as the Winner of the Bad Beat Jackpot, you must satisfy the following conditions:

You must be playing at a Jackpot or Turbo Jackpot table
A Jackpot rake must be collected in the hand you are playing
You must use both hole cards
You must lose in a hand where you have four 8's or better

In order to qualify as the Winner of the Bad Beat Jackpot Hand, you must satisfy the following conditions:

You must be playing at a Jackpot or Turbo Jackpot table
A Jackpot rake must be collected in the hand you are playing
You must use both hole cards
Your hand must have beat four 8's or better

In order to qualify for a $1000 bonus, you must satisfy the following conditions:

You must be playing at the Jackpot or Turbo Jackpot table where the Bad Beat Jackpot hand occurs
You must be sitting in when the Bad Beat occurs

In order to qualify for the remainder of the Bad Beat Jackpot that is divided among eligible players, you must satisfy the following conditions:

You must be playing at a Jackpot or Turbo Jackpot table
You must be playing at the same game type and stakes level where the Jackpot was hit
You must have played in at least one hand, in your current session at the table, where a Jackpot rake was collected and you must have contributed to that pot
You must be sitting in when the Bad Beat occurs

Yes, both hole cards must be used. The rule that these players failed to meet was: A Jackpot rake must be collected in the hand you are playing. Because the rake did not get to the level needed for the jackpot rake to be collected they did not win the jackpot.

#23 24th March 2009, 8:11 PM

You're right, I'm sorry I wasn't looking at the hand history correctly. Whoops. You are completely correct.

Hehe, I hope someone pointed out the error of their ways to them!

Surely both of them were using both of their hole cards?

Oops, you beat me to it!

#25 24th March 2009, 8:17 PM

Haha, yea, I don't know what the hell I was looking at, but for some reason it looked wrong to me.

Yeah, obviously everyone at the table was screaming at them after the hand (each player at the table lost $1000 I think). Apparently neither said a word after the hand and both left the table shortly afterward (probably to find a gun).

#27 24th March 2009, 9:34 PM

Lesson for everyone really. If you go to a poker site to play because the Bad Beat Jackpot has reached an attractive level, read up on the rules/Ts&Cs first. Ten-Twenty minutes of your time might just be the difference between $000,000.00 and $150,000.00 - suicidal or ecstatic.

#28 24th March 2009, 11:27 PM

Haha, Crystal, you couldn't be more correct in Hillbilly's example. I would be borderline suicidal I think if that happened to me...

#29 25th March 2009, 12:09 AM

One of my close friends played at bad beat jackpot tables. I told him how it's a sucker bet, with the increased rake, etc, so he went to regular tables. I don't remember just how soon after, but within a week, this happened to him.

He wanted to kill me, lol. And to this day he's lost money lifetime with straight flushes.

#30 25th March 2009, 12:14 AM

Just because it happened at a regular table doesn't mean it at all that it would have happened to him at the Bad Beat table.

I have been playing the Bad Beats at UB all day, it's up to almost $696K!! I don't expect it to hit at my table, but if it hits, hopefully it will at least be at my limits....

#31 25th March 2009, 12:59 AM

I'm playing the Cereus bb tables too. I've been running pretty bad but there are a ton of fish. I normally don't play these but at 600K+, I think it's pretty +EV.

#32 25th March 2009, 1:01 AM

Update: Over 700K now... So the winner of the Bad Beat will get around $227K as of right now....wow

#33 26th March 2009, 2:40 PM

never won jackpot came close with quad 6s guy had open ended str8 flush draw ofcourse couldnt get lol

#34 26th March 2009, 3:57 PM

The jackpot was hit at UB yesterday. I think it was at $807K... and it was at one of the higher tables, I was only playing .25/.50. No need to play higher with their rake at those tables.
