Bad Beat
If you are not familiar with a bad beat jackpots are, let me explain. In most bricks and mortar casinos there is a progressive jackpot that builds over time, the so-called "Bad Beat Jackpot. raked poker rooms usually one or two dollars from each pot and put it in? the Bad Beat Jackpot.
The rules for the jackpot in each Casino. In some casinos, you need only Aces full of Jacks or better beaten while some casinos offer even harder beats like a beaten four of a kind. In most poker rooms, you also need a Limit table play. No Limit games usually not considered, as would more likely hit the jackpot with the players constantly all in and see each card, the board has to offer. If happens to be a bad beat and checked, everyone gets paid.
The structure for a Bad Beat Jackpot payout also varies from casino to casino. It is common to see the losing side will receive 40% of the jackpot and the winning hand 25% of the jackpot, the rest of the table divided 15% of the Jackpots, and the rest of the poker room split the remaining 20%. As you can see when someone hits a jackpot, there is plenty of room for everyone to celebrate.
In the last four years I've played countless hours of poker in the casinos in Missouri, Mississippi, Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma and have never had a bad beat jackpot until yesterday Evening experienced.
I went to Cherokee Casino in West Siloam Springs, Oklahoma, with a buddy from me to a few hours of play while waiting for our places to open, we sat in a fairly loose $ 4 / $ 8 limit game. In this poker room $ 4 / $ 8 limit the lowest limit game available, so it feels like playing $ 2 / $ 4 and $ 3 / $ 6, which has 7 pre-flop caller on a raised hand widespread and where aces no chance.
We had only played for about 30 minutes when it all went down. I was in seat 9 seats, the loose Player is sitting right next to me, in seat 8 That player was 23 years old and was also a dealer at the casino. (In the larger casinos, in general, if you are a dealer They do not play right in the games in their poker room, but this is not a rule at Cherokee Casino.)
The player in seat 8 and the player holding JJ in seat 5 held QQ. Most of this hand was heads-up and the final board was:
JJQQ 4
Both players have tried to slow play their hands, bets to be not very high, up the river, where the player with JJ 3 bet the pot and was all-in for his last few dollars. Our table was only half attention, because this pot does not seem very exciting.
The player in seat 8, the JJ, turned up his sleeves to show his quads and said: "Can you beat that!" with a grin on his face. The table watched a little, because a player showed four boys. The player in seat 5 smiling big and said, "Sure can!" and turned over his quad Queens.
Only about three players at the table really knew what that meant, It was Bad Beat Jackpot time. After explaining about a few seconds, the situation, everyone at the table, except for the first time two players did, what was going on and the table broke in jubilation.
Players from around the poker room, around our table to try to see what had happened. After all, usually players do not start cheering and Jump to a $ 4 / $ 8 limit table.
The Bad Beat Jackpot was up to just over $ 80,000. After an hour of camera control, audit Card, paper work, and the review was the Bad Beat lose confirmed with 4 boys and 4 Queens. The player to my left, with the 4 boys, won $ 32,000. The player opposite me, with the 4 Queens, won $ 20,000. The other 7 players, including my friend and I, split $ 12,000, the end being about 1720 $ Per piece. The rest of the poker room players end up getting about $ 130 a head.
The two first time players at our table had no idea what's going on was and why they were given $ 1,700 in cash. We made sure to tell them, poker was not always easy. After playing for a few hours and never leave our $ 4 / $ 8 seats was to drive it to time at home. Not a bad night at the $ 4 / $ 8 tables.
