If you run out of luck, you may be in luck. Apparently that is the way things work at Absolute Poker where their intriguing Bad Beat Jackpot has been known to bail out people who have reached rock bottom. Needless to say, this special aid to players who are down on their luck has brought the site a considerable amount of attention. The latest player to benefit from their innovative system is a Texas Hold’em player who lost a hand with quad aces. For their efforts they were rewarded with the largest Bad Beat Jackpot to date. They came away with more than $160,000 in their pockets. How’s that for making the most of a losing battle?

Just since July, with almost one million hands of cards dealt out since the previous hit, the Bad Beat Jackpot is now up around $464,000. Players from all walks of life have flocked to the site to try to get into a tight spot that will bring them the big glory in the end. For some folks it still strikes them a bit odd that people would be trying their darnedest to play the ultimate losing hand in order to win the big money, but many people have been jumping on the bandwagon.

While these harsh loses would mean inevitable heartbreak and the breaking of one’s bankroll, that is not the case with Absolute Poker. In order to build up the Bad Beat Jackpot, fifty cents is collected from all qualifying hands at the Bad Beat tables. People often say that nothing beats winning with a great hand at poker, but now the tables have definitely turned. It may now be just as wonderful to get dealt the worst hand of your life. Go figure!
