Re: Matusow wins Bad Beat jackpot
I hate BBV. I can't tell if you guys are retarded or usign your "3rd level sarcasm". I like to think that it's the first one with the second one used as an excuse to cover your ass when you find out you are really wrong. Anybody who seriously doesn't think this would qualify as a bad beat jackpot hand needs to read "Poker for Dummies" to understand how you make a 5 card hand.

Re: Matusow wins Bad Beat jackpot
No Limit Texas Hold'em!
Texas hold'em is a community card game. Every player is dealt two cards face down, and then five community cards are dealt in the middle of the table. The five community cards may be used by every player. When played in casinos, texas holdem is played with a dealer button to mark who the dealer would be if the casino weren't providing one for the table. The button rotates clockwise around the table between every hand. This is important as the "dealer" is the last to act, and thus has the greatest advantage for that hand. Texas Holdem Rules - Objective To make your best five card hand using any combination of the five cards on the board and the two in your hand. Note: Using all five community cards to make your best five card hand is called "playing the board" Texas Holdem Rules - Forced Bets Ante Texas hold'em occasionally has an ante (usually only in tournament play) where every player must place a specified amount in the pot prior to the beginning of each hand. The ante does not count toward any future bets. Blinds Texas holdem rules dictate that there be two forced bets every hand, called blinds. There is a small blind, which is 1/2 of the low limit bet size, and a big blind, which is equal to the low limit bet size. Before the hand begins, the player to the immediate left of the dealer button is forced to post the small blind, and the player to the left of that person is forced to post the big blind. These bets count towards that player's first round bet, and are considered live, meaning the player may choose to raise even if nobody else has. Note: In a heads up match (1 on 1), the player with the dealer button posts the small blind, and the other player posts the big blind. The player with the dealer button is the first to act before the flop, but acts after his opponent in the three betting rounds to follow. Texas Holdem Rules - Betting Rounds There are four rounds of betting. In fixed limit Texas hold'em game, in the first two rounds of betting, all bets must be equal to the size of the low limit bet. In the last two rounds of betting, all bets must be equal to the high limit bet. If, for example, you're playing 3-6 Texas holdem, all bets in the first two rounds will be in increments of 3 dollars, and all bets in the last two rounds will be in increments of 6 dollars. A maximum of 3 raises are allowed per betting round. Note: In a heads up match, some poker rooms will allow more than the customary 3 raises per betting round. 5 is common, as is unlimited raises. 1. Preflop - The player to the immediate left of the dealer button is forced to post the small blind. The player to the left of him, or two to the left of the dealer button, is forced to post the big blind. Two cards are dealt to every player face down, starting with the small blind. The action begins with the player to the immediate left of the big blind, who must decide to fold, call (by putting in the low limit bet), or raise (by putting in twice the low limit bet). Action proceeds clockwise around the table. The small blind may call (assuming nobody has raised) by adding the other 1/2 of the low limit bet he was already forced to put in. The big blind may simply check (assuming nobody has raised), as he has already put in the full size of the first round bet. 2. The Flop - Three cards are dealt face up in the middle of the table. In this round, and in the following two rounds, the player to the immediate left of the dealer button is the first to act. Play proceeds in a clockwise manner around the table. All bets and raises must be equal to the low limit bet size. 3. The Turn - A fourth card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. Play proceeds as in the previous round, except now all bets and raises must be equal to the high limit bet size. 4. The River - A fifth and final card is dealt face up in the middle of the table. Play proceeds as in the previous round. All bets and raises must be equal to the high limit bet size. Showdown - Anyone who has not folded after the last round of betting will now have the option of showing their hand and possibly winning the pot. The person who bet last is the first to show their hand, and then it proceeds clockwise from there, with each remaining player either choosing to show their hand, or muck it. Often times a player will muck their hand if they aren't going to win the pot, and don't want their opponents to see what they played.

Re: Matusow wins Bad Beat jackpot
Man most of you guys are retarded.
The BBJ on Party is simple. If you have quad 8's or better and lose with each of you using BOTH holecards in your hand to make the best 5 card hand available then you qualify. In this example yes it qualifies, A9999 vs 5c6c7c8c9c.

Re: Matusow wins Bad Beat jackpot
To be clear- a lot of dicky card rooms do require that any quads payout (say for a Monte Carlo) be made with a pocket pair. Yes this is dumb, this is also reality.
