Yep, it is hooking. Trying to catch that Bad Beat Jackpot at Carbon Poker.
Here is the explanation how it works:
"As soon as a player has a monster hand cracked, the jackpot will be won, with every active player at the table receiving a portion of the prize money! The player with the losing hand will pick up the biggest percentage, so if you have Quad sevens or better using both hole cards, you should definitely hope to get beaten!"
(Above photo and explanation from Carbon Poker web-page.)
So... let's assume it will be 6 players table and Bad Beat Jackpot would be 200'000 dollars. Then the amounts would be:
- 35% to "Loser" = 70'000 dollars
- 17,5% to Winner = 35'000 dollars
- and rest of the 4 (active, not sitting out) players would each get 8'750 dollars
Quite nice amounts could be won in small tables. The smallest Bad Beat tables there are 9 players "Bad Beat Rue St Catherine" and 6 players "Bad Beat Pueblo de Taos", both of them are $0.50/$1 tables. Not bad for a big Bad Beat Jackpot.
