My wife is playing the typical no foldem holdem 3-6 table. She is dealt A2o on the button and calls. (amazingly no raises before the flop as you will see...I guess the typical loose-passive low limit table).

The flop is A-A-A. So she has quad A's. The flop, turn and river all get capped with three people in til the end.
Hands are turned over. She shows Quad A's. Another player has pocket K's and another pocket J's.

At this casino (Jackson Rancheria in California), any AAAJJ or better beat is a bad beat. Everyone stands up cheering about the bad beat; however floor manager comes over and says no bad beat! Of course, he is right, because my wife's 2 from the A2o doesn't play.

The most interesting thing is that if she had folded her hand, there would have been a bad beat AAAKK over AAAJJ!!!
And she would have made more money with her table share than she made with 3 capped betting rounds @ 3-6.

Actually no, it would not have been the jackpot if she had folded, because at every single place I have ever played in order to hit the jackpot you have to have aces full of 10's (or Jacks or whatever) beat by 4 of a kind or better. In you example both people have full houses, nobody has 4 of a kind or better.

He said that at his local cardroom AAAJJ beaten by any hand is a BBJ. And it used to be this way at lots of places in SoCal.

BTW, what did the rest of the table say to your wife?
