$843,xxx,xxx Bad Beat jackpot at Poker.com/Carbon

I admit it, I'm a sucker. I am determined to try and hit this thing. I'd deposited $200 onto PDC a few weeks ago and Christmas eve I realized the BB Jackpot was so high. so I played a few tables..won about $150. And my ego brough my (original) $225 BR I $150 all the way down to $3.02. Crap. So, after a day of refusing to rebuy I gave in yesterday and rebought for the $300, hoping just like I do, when I buy those stupid scratch-offs. Well, I got my PDC BR back up to $619.00, now...and I'm playing without my ego, so I can hold on to those chippies I tought were gone forever. I'm still playing for the BBJ, but with much more discipline. (I hope)

Discipline.... Something I'm lacking at the moment...

Awwww, Honey, especially in shoes!

you go girl you can do it . good luck

the bad beat jackpot usually takes like 1PTBB worth of your winnings. it's pretty much -EV in all regards

BB Jackpot

Not really sure what it takes to win a Bad Beat Jackpot, but I believe there are very special rules to this...

First... You have to lose with a 4 of a kind, to a higher 4 of a kind.

Also, you have to use BOTH of your cards in you hand, as well as your opponent.

Which means, There has to be 2 pr on the board, you holding a pair in your hand (which hit the board) as well as your opponenet holding a pair in his/her hand (also hitting the board).

Knew one person who actually won this in a casino, and everybody still in the hand after the hand was over won a piece of the jackpot.

If this is what you shooting for... you may just want to consider scratching off a few more instant lottery tickets.

Best of luck and keep us posted if you win.

lol what the heck go for it!!! Someone is going to win it, so you may as well try and make sure you bring your new discipline, lol
Good Luck

If you win the BBJ you should stake me. I mean donate a bankroll to me !

Stake/donate same dif at this moment

I believe you have to lose with four 8s or better.Im pretty sure I read it on their site.

Oops, 843 eight hundred forty three thousand
quad 7s have to lose and yes I know you need both cards in your hand to qualify. 4 people have to see flop and the winner has to have both winning cards in their hand
I've played for 12 hrs and lost $50. Damn.

The place I play my live games at has a bad beat jackpot. The minimum there was Aces over Tens getting cracked, using both of each player's hole cards.
Last Thursday I dealt one guy A/A and another Q/Q. There were two Q's on the flop to give one Quads. But the turn and river failed to deliver the necessary Ace for full house.

The pot jackpot was $3,200+. I think the "loser" gets 50%, the winner gets 30%, and the rest of the table splits 20%, but I'm not sure on that.

4 people do not need to see the flop. They only need to be dealt into the hand. I have been playing for this as well. I figure somebody is going to hit it why not have it be me.

I remember 2 yrs ago, a friend of mine, went to the local casino in Hull Quebec, and was playing a wierd game called "Carribean Stud". I really don't comprehend the rules of the game, but I know he hit the Royal Flush, and won like 230k, and 20 minutes later, went to another table, and played another game called, 3 card poke(It had a name, just don't know it). Anyways he hit the SF, and won another 50k.


Personally BBJ, are just a waste of time, I believe if it's meant to be, it's meant to be, gl

Can someone check my math?

odds of 4 of a kind 8 or higher (must be 8 or higher to qualify): 1:10,000
odds of a higher 2nd 4 of a kind: 1:100,000,000

odds of a straight flush:1:72,000
odds of a straight flush beating 4 of a kind 8 or higher: 1: 720,000,000?

odds of winning powerball: 1:120,000,000

Actually I think it's worse because of the additional restrictions (both hole cards must be used).

Bad Beat Jackpots are definitely a long shot but lets not forget about the pots we win will playing for them. The rake is a bit higher at these tables but nothing too crazy. And the players at the tables are still willing to stack off to you just like any other table. So while I play I guess I'll win some pot, pay a little higher rake and dream of hitting the BBJ. And if I don't I'm not out anything and hopefully I'm up a couple bucks.

The slot machines always seem to be busy at the casinos....ching ching ching ching (go the $dollar$ signs in their eyes)

Best of luck in 2009
