Ultimate Bad Beat

Ran like crap again for most of last night and dropped $88 over 30 games on Stars.Detail to follow in my 1000th post soon!

Congrats to SMBoatdrinks on taking down the BritBlogger game.I finished 22nd after repopping a late position raiser with AQh.He had JJ,I hit a Queen on the flop....and of course the Jack came on the river.GG.

Here's a hand which has been doing the rounds on the forums.I couldn't resist posting it here.The Bad Beat Jackpot is usually won when Quad 8's or better are beaten.The loser in the pot gets the biggest payout and the winner benefits too.What were they thinking?!


UB Bad beat Jackpot is $350k. Rake must reach $.25 for hands to qualify for the BBJ, so $5.00 pot.
