A Couple Quick Tips

Right now, I'd have to say if you're going to play online, do so at BetOnline.ag. They have a large player database so the bad beat jackpot is constantly rising and falling. Of course, you want to play when it's peaking. BetOnline is also a poker site accepted from the US. There's really no point in playing in my opinion if the jackpot is low because we pretty much always have one site listed where the jackpot is over $100,000.

It is our intention to stay on top of these two sites to bring you the mega jackpots. Anyways, for now good luck on getting unlucky!

At the Motor City Casino, in Texas Hold ’em poker, if a player hits any four of a kind and is beaten by another player’s four of a kind, they hit the bad beat jackpot. Both players must have pocket pairs. The four of a kind must only be beaten by another four of a kind. A straight flush only wins them the much smaller bad beat jackpot. The rules are slightly different at the MGM Grand Detroit and Greektown. The bad beat jackpot can be hit if a player’s four of a kind loses to a straight flush. That makes it slightly easier to win. The odds of hitting either are astronomical, but it does happen.

Many other poker rooms offer the jackpots, which gather money over time, and the majority of the cash in the pot (40 percent in this case, good for over $427,000 here) goes to the loser. The winning hand gets 20 percent, and the rest of the table (this time, it was six players) split the rest.
