If you play real money cash games you have to check out the bad beat jackpot at PokerHost and Carbon Poker. At the time of this post the bad beat jackpot is over $395,000. Take a bad beat and cash in 35% of the jackpot. At these levels that would be over $138,000!

Look for the specially market ring game tables to find a bad beat jackpot table. Then hope you get a bad beat and cash in some serious cash. The loser of the hand receives 35% of the jackpot, the winner of the hand receives 17.5% of the jackpot, 17.5% is divided equally among the other players seated at the table, 20% goes to reseeding the jackpot and 10% goes to the house.

Get beat holding quad 7′s or better and JACKPOT! As stated above, even just be playing at the table where the jackpot is hit and get a piece of it. 17.5% divided among 7 players may not sound like a lot, but at these levels it would be over $8,600. I would be more than happy to receive a nice bonus like that!

The two USA online poker sites we recommend that take part in the jackpot are PokerHost and Carbon Poker.
