Winning a Bad Beat Jackpot - How possible is that?
There is some lucky guy out there who knows. He won the biggest BB-Jackpot ever on the site Absolute poker, whilst he was playing just a 0.5/1 Limit Hold’Em table(!). The pot in which both players hit their straight flushes of spades ended up at just around $20 but the insane amount for the bonus was $821,670.69!!!
Talk about The Return Of Investment for the players seated at the lucky table.
It came to my attention this week that there is a movie about it on the internet, and of course I just had to check it out.
Actually, Absolute poker did beat this record themselves with an even bigger BB-Jackpot later on, this time the amount was more than the $900k mark.
Why do I have a feeling these things will never happen to me?
Maybe because of this table, take a look at these insane odds:
Following are the rules for a type 1 bad beat:
1. Both the bad beat and the winning hand must be the best possible combination of five cards. In cases where the same hand can be created in multiple ways (for example player has AK and the board shows AAKKQ) the player’s hole cards will take priority.
2. Both the bad beat and the winning hand must make use of both hole cards.
3. A full house must be beaten by a four of a kind or higher.
The rules for a type 2 bad beat are the same as type 1, plus any four of a kind, whether the bad beat hand or winning hand, must contain a pocket pair.
The rules for a type 3 bad beat are the same as type 2, plus a full house may not make use of a three of a kind entirely on the board.
