Party Poker Bad Beat Jackpot
What is a bad beat
A bad beat is a dreaded term for online poker players. There is probably nothing a player hates more than a bad beat. This is quite unique to poker, but the same type of situation in fact arise in other sports or games. This is a very powerful situation which leads to some sort of psychological distress or disarray, called tilt in poker. But what is a bad beat exactly then? Let's imagine you have a monster hand, like a full house. When this happens, and this does not happen often, you get a feeling of exhilaration, or power, this is such a strong and powerful hand. Very often your opponents will fold and you will not collect much money from such a hand. But when you get an opponent who plays the hand, what a fantasti feeling! This guy could be bluffing and trying to make you fold, and he shoves. There is no better scenario in poker, to get all the chips in the middle when you have an uber monster hand. Only one card left to come at the river, and then this is the showdown, you show your cards,..., and you lose the hand.
This is a bad beat. When you have a monster and lose to a river card when you opponent only has one or two outs. It is nearly impossible to lose and your opponent makes a very bad play to call you. But he gets extremely lucky at the river by getting exactly the card he needs to get an even stronger hand that beats yours. When this occurs you will feel that it is unjust and unfair, that the room is rigged. But this is the law of probability; even though they are rare, these events happen. So players quit the game as they cannot take it. Thank God, at Party Poker, they have found a way to make the bad beat a very enjoyable experience.
