So what exactly is Bad
Beat Texas Holdem Poker at
Absolute
Poker?
When you
lose with a really good hand it is considered a bad beat. At
Absolute Poker, if you lose a hand holding four eights
(8888) or anything better, that’s a bad beat.
If you lose a hand with four eights
or better you win the bad beat jackpot!
Not all tables qualify for the Bad
Beat Jackpot. You will see Bad Beat Jackpot tables at
Absolute
Poker with the word “jackpot” written in brackets
after the table name and they will be categorized in red
text in the lobby. There are all different levels of blinds
so anyone from a beginner to an advanced player can play Bad
Beat Poker.
Basically,
Absolute
Poker collects
$0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked .25 or
more. That goes into the jackpot. The Bad Beat poker jackpot
will keep growing until someone hits an unbelievable bad
beat.
Everyone at the table can win
a piece of the prize.
As soon as someone hits a qualifying
bad beat, 65% of the jackpot will be shared between everyone
at the online poker table where the bad beat went down. 25%
will go towards the next jackpot and 10% will go to the
house. The loser of the hand – ie. the bad beat victim - will take 50% of
the prize
The winner of the hand will take 25% of the prize
The rest of the players seated at the table will share the remaining
25%.
