Absolute Poker Bad Beat Jackpot
Look for Absolute Poker's new 'Bad Beat Jackpot' tables and watch the jackpot grow. Absolute Poker collects $0.50 from the pot of each raked hand. The poker jackpot will keep growing until someone hits an unbelievable bad beat.
What constitutes a bad beat? If you lose a hand holding four eights (8888) or a anything better, that's a bad beat. But at these tables, your luck couldn't be better.
Thanks to your bad beat, everyone at the table will win a piece of the distributed jackpot. And you'll take the majority of the prize.
As soon as someone hits a qualifying bad beat, 70% of the jackpot will be shared between everyone at the online poker table where the bad beat went down. 20% will go towards the next jackpot and 10% will go to the house.
We'll take the new amount and divide it amongst the players seated at the Bad Beat Jackpot table.
- The loser of the hand – ie. the bad beat victim - will take 50% of the prize
- The winner of the hand will take 25% of the prize
- The rest of the players seated at the table will share the remaining 25%
Hit the tables now and discover how good your next bad beat can feel.
