Ultimate Bet Bad Beat Jackpot
How many times have you played a hand of poker where you got crushed by a player drawing to a one or two card out in the deck? After all the action, all the chips flying, all the raising and reraising went on and the smoke cleared, you lost the hand. Not only are you ready to tilt because your chips just got pushed to someone else when you held a hand that was unbeatable until that single card popped off the deck, but your bankroll just took a huge blow and you may have to drop down in limits. Good News! If you’re playing that same hand on Ultimate Bet Poker in a jackpot game, you just made a reversal of fortune from a bad beat.
A few things you need to know about the Ultimate Bad Beat Jackpot:
• In order for your hand to qualify for bad beat status you have to hold quad Eights or better and get them beat by a bigger hand and both cards have to play in both hands.
• You have to be seated at a jackpot table which is designated by the word “jackpot” written in brackets right behind the table name and when you check out the table list in the lobby, you’ll note it’s in red text.
• When the jackpot hits, 25 percent stays in the jackpot to start the next jackpot. Ten percent goes to the house, the player dealt the bad beat receives half, the winning player gets a quarter, other players at the table that were dealt in the hand each get $1,000, and the remaining 25 percent gets divided between ALL players at all the Ultimate Bad Beat Jackpot tables of the same limit and game types.
• Four or more players must be dealt in the hand and the rake collected in order for the hand to qualify as a bad beat. Anyone sitting out is not considered eligible. The hand has to go to showdown.
• If one of those incredibly strange events occur, like two or more hands qualifying for the jackpot in the same hand, then the two highest hands are considered jackpot hands – the highest hand being the winning hand and the second highest hand being the losing hand.
• And if it gets freakier still and two qualifying jackpot hands hit at precisely the same time, the jackpot will be awarded to the hand that began first in Ultimate Bet game time.
• Everyone has to act independently during game play and not chat about their hand or allude to a jackpot hand in progress. No one can instruct another player how to play their hand because Ultimate Bet does NOT tolerate collusion. The hand will be automatically disqualified if there is any failure to abide by these rules.
• The Bad Beat Jackpot is fed by $0.50 taken from each pot that is raked $0.25 or more. In order for a hand to qualify as a bad beat, the rake must be higher than $0.25.
The latest loser that turned into a winner, suchenlin, just hit $244,555.37 at the table Southside!
Now that you know there is hope, and a lot of cash to be had when you lose with a monster, don’t miss all the other action going on at Ultimate Bet Poker. re at)
