Found this on the web... let me get this straight, if you lose with four of kind 8s or better you win the jackpot of 90K?

poker it is called a bad beat jackpot. In many cardrooms and sites if you have a 4 of a kind or better beaten the losing hand gets anywhere from 50 t0 75% of the jack pot winning hand gets 25% to 10% the rest of the players at the table and/or tables in the room split the remaining %. So in poker it is the only time you want second best hand..............Rock

if you read the rules for winning th badbeat jaclpot there are all kinds of stipulations making it just about impossible to win

If your going to play for a badbeat bonus you want to do it at party poker where it gets the largest.

I was actually at a table where the Bad Beat jackpot was won about 6 months ago. It wasnt the huge jackpot the offer now, but it was $500. The loser (of the hand) got $250, the winner got $125, an everyone else seated at the table split the other $125. I got about $18 just for sitting at the table and folding pre-flop! (and it was only a .05/.10 table).

The big jackpot now is only for certain .50/1.00 tables on RV, so its much harder to win.

I had no idea that you even played poker.

Does anyone know what the odds are of losing with quad 8s or better? I would think that you would have a better chance at living to be 200.
