How The Bad Beat Works
Look out for 'Bad Beat Jackpot' poker tables in Absolute poker lobby. The room collects $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand that is raked $0.25 or more. The jackpot keeps growing until someone hits an unbelievable bad beat. In this case all the players on the table win their share of the bad beat jackpot.

If you lose a hand holding four eights (8888) or better, that's a bad beat. Thanks to your Bad Beat, everyone at the table will win a slice of the jackpot pie. Anyone holding cards and playing the identical game type and limit, as the winner, will also enjoy a chunk of the change.

Jackpot Payout Shedule:
• 25% rolls over to the next Bad Beat Jackpot
• 10% goes to the house
• Of the remaining 65%:
• 50% goes to the Bad Beat victim
• 25% goes to the winner of the hand
• $1K goes to every other player at the Bad Beat table
• The remainder is divided between everyone playing the same game type and limit when the Bad Beat goes down.
