Why not simply suggest the person ask the brush or a floorperson before they start playing or during a break?

Where do you deal?

Standard rules: both winning hand and losing hand must use both hole cards. 50% of total jackpot goes to loser, 25% to winner and 25% split among other players at the table who were dealt into the hand (called a table share).

This is how it works in my card room. A quad must beat AAAKK and both cards must play....
A2(AAAx9)KK = No Jackpot, the 2 kicker does NOT play
AQ(AAAx9)KK = JACKPOT!!!

The AQ(AAAx9)KK is thew most common jackpot scenario in my cardroom. When the dealer lays out three Aces on the board, they are required to call the floor. After the hand is over, the floor directs the dealer to place the Aces in different parts of the deck before putting the deck back in the auto shuffler...

Nothing like demonstrating your belief that the Shufflemaster is less than random to your customers.

It's to make sure it doesn't happen again on the next deal ldo.

Where I play is simpler. 3 Aces on the board nullifies the jackpot.

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.

Have you ever considered a career change? Do it for yourself before you die from stress. If you wont do it for yourself, do it for the hundreds if not thousands of people that come to your cardroom to have some fun, and whose time you ruin every chance you get when you see even the slightest twinkling of enjoyment in their expressions.

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?
