CarbonPoker’s Bad Beat Jackpot Keeps Climbing

Posted By : CarbonPoker June 9th, 2009

badbeatjackpotAfter already breaking the Bad Beat Jackpot world record earlier this year with almost $1,200,000 for the beat (paying out $417,396 to one New York student), CarbonPoker’s healthiest Jackpot is on the move again.

At close to ¾ of a million bucks, the BBJ is getting heavy and starting to bulge at the seams. At the time of writing this, the jackpot was sitting at $728,036.82. Whoa.

How it Pays Out
If you’re playing on a Bad Beat table at CarbonPoker and lose with a hand of Quad 7’s or better, the Jackpot goes off.

Chips will literally be falling from the ceiling of the poker client.

Breakdown of Payment Structure

  • 35% to the Happy “Loser”
  • 20% to Reseeding the Jackpot (we’ve got to keep it going!)
  • 17.5% to the Still Happy “Winner” (the guy who beat your quads, or got a higher straight flush, etc)
  • 17.5% to Other Very Happy Players (must be deal in, not sitting out)
  • 10% to Merge Gaming

Now, I’m not an advocate of hoping-to-lose, but for this it really seems worthwhile. Next time you’re coming into a showdown with an absolute monster, you just might be hoping to see something better.

WTF Is Caribbean Stud Poker?

Posted By : CarbonPoker May 28th, 2009

In our on-going effort of poker education, we’re hitting Caribbean Stud this week. It’s got enticing payouts, interesting rules and is the perfect time killer when you’re waiting for that next tournament to start.

You can check out the rules of Caribbean Stud, but here are the basics:

5-card poker game
Single deck is used
You play against the dealer
You must Ante, then decide if you want to bet against the dealer (double ante)
Dealer must qualify
Jackpot bet is separate (Jackpot pays, even if dealer beats your hand)

It’s a tough-ish game to describe, but an easy game to play. Get out there and give it a try while you’re waiting for the Guaranteed $50K next Sunday.

If you’ve seen our Twitter Feed or watch the ticker at the top of pretty much every CarbonPoker page, you know that our various Caribbean Stud jackpots are growing by the minute.

As of the time of writing, the $1 Table Jackpot is at $22K+ and the $5 Table Jackpot is at $53K+. To me, that’s worthwhile to lay the bonus every hand.

Good Luck on the tables.
