Local Bad Beat Jackpot Odds?

[Woolygimp]

The rules are: Aces full of tens or better beaten by quads or better. Both cards must play.

Can anyone do the math and show what are the chances of each individual hand qualifying?

Question: In the case of aces full, is the player required to have AA for the hole cards? Also, must you hold a pair in the case of quads? [ie, would KQ on a QQQ72 board qualify?]. These are both requirements in a couple of the cardrooms I've seen with the BB jackpot here in AC.

If the answer to both is yes, then the question is pretty simplified, and then you'd need to hold:

AA: For AAATT+ boats, or quads
KK-22: quads only
1-gap to 3-gap suited connectors: straight flushes

...which narrows down your starting hand range.

However, if you can qualify QJ on a QQQ54 board (jack plays so you'd be using both cards), then you could actually qualify with any starting hand and there's a little more to it, same thing if you can make aces full of tens with ATo.

In the latter case, if you held J7s you could qualify three ways:

Quad jacks, so long as the other two board cards are lower than your kicker. Also, the cards would have to make it possible for an opponent to make a qualifying hand as well, say 66 or 32s. Any 8+ DQs your hand.

Quad sevens, with no queen or higher on the board, and again you need something an opponent can qualify with.

A straight flush, which you will need T98 of your suit. Now you will need a paired board, since he cannot make a straight flush.

It gets kinda silly figuring all that out, so just wanted to make sure of the qualifying requirements...

Both cards must play but they don't need to be a pair. KQ on a QQQxx board will play as long as the K is the kicker.

Aces full of tens must be beat by quads or better, so no boat over boats. Also a player must have at least one ace in his/her hand for the hand to qualify for the full house portion.
