How to Play Poker Videos
Who else thinks full tilt poker would be losing a ton of money if they offered a bad beat jackpot... ??
I feel like I constantly end up in a bad beat hand. One person flops two pair while another person flopped trips, and a flopped flush gets burnt on runner runner full house. I have on several occassions seen someone flop quads just to have runner runner cards give someone else higher quads. I hardly ever see this at a cash game in Vegas or A.C. but yet I see it everyday several times a day on full tilt...

- If they ran the bad-beat jackpots like the brick and motar casinos they would not lose any money. The casinos take a piece of each pot (usually $1) and adds it to the jackpot. Its nothing out of their pockets. A few of the hands you describe above would not be considered bad-beats. Usually, the casinos stipulate a bad-beat as having Aces-Full-Of-Tens or higher hand getting beat. Also there is a stipulation that all players involved in the pot at the showdown use both of their hole cards. As to the number of bad-beats you are seeing: this is an ongoing gripe from many who play online. The reason you are seeing so many bad-beats is that online there far more hands played per hour than you see in live action play. If the dealers at the casinos could deal out the cards and players could act as fast as online play I believe you would see the same amount of bad-beats.
