The bad beat story to beat them all
Posted on 8/27/18 at 5:40 pm
Posted on 8/27/18 at 5:40 pm
It's making the rounds on reddit so thought I'd share here for you poker fans. LINK
Apparently three players see the flop - KdQd, ThTs and 99. The flop comes Tc9c9d, a dream scenario for the nines of course since he's up against a made tens full.
The turn is the Jd, which means the tens are dead because a river Td makes a straight flush for the KQ. And that's exactly what happens. Everyone is of course all in by now.
Here's where it gets interesting. There was a $18,000 bad beat jackpot and it plays here. The straight flush gets $4500 (in addition to winning the pot), and the guy with quad tens gets $9000 despite being way behind in the hand the entire way! The Td falling wasn't a bad beat at all for him.
The quad nines are screwed but they don't even qualify for the bad beat any more than the other players at the table, they get the same $665 table share everyone else did.
This would drive anyone to give up the game IMHO.

Can you make it so the non degenerate gamblers could understand?

Probably should’ve stayed there, foshizzle.

I don't know how a group of hands could be more rare.
Posted on 8/27/18 at 5:45 pm to foshizzle
As soon as you described the hands and flop, I knew what the turn and river were without reading any further. I didn’t know the order, but I knew the cards.

Why would the winner get money from the bad beat pot?

Was that English or computer code?

Levitsky versus Marshall, Breslau July 20, 1912
23... Qg3!!
Black moves his queen to where it is attacked by White's own queen and two pawns. Black threatens Qxh2#, but all three ways of capturing the queen lose, and other escape attempts fail as well: any move by White's rook on f1 loses to 24...Qxh2+ 25.Kf1 Qh1# ; 24.f4 (or 24.f3) Ne2+ 25.Kh1 Qxh2# ; 24.hxg3 Ne2# ; 24.fxg3 Ne2+ 25.Kh1 Rxf1# (a back-rank mate); 24.Qxg3 Ne2+ 25.Kh1 Nxg3+ 26.Kg1 (if 26.fxg3 Rxf1#) Nxf1 27.gxh3 Nd2, and Black will keep his extra piece.
Legend has it that the spectators showered the board with gold pieces after Marshall's last move.

That's how they work. The guy who finishes second in the hand gets the largest portion of the bad beat jackpot because he took the bad beat. The guy who won the hand and delivered the bad beat gets the next largest portion of the pot. The remaining pot is split evenly amongst everyone else. The percentages are typically 50% to the guy who got beat, 25% to the winner of the hand, and 25% split among everyone else.
The gist of OP's story is that on the flop, one guy had 4 nines, one guy had a full house with 10s over 9s, and the third guy had an inside straight draw. The 9s were dominating. The turn came and the third guy hit his inside straight draw, but the card that came also gave him a straight flush draw. The nines were still winning. All three players went to the river and ended up all-in. On the river, the guy with the full house drew his fourth ten, but it was also the ten the guy with the straight flush draw needed to complete his straight flush. The straight flush beat the four 10's and the guy who started the hand with four 9's finished third, so he got boned out of the big payout from the bad beat jackpot.
Interesting thing about those is that when one of those hits in Louisiana the State Police and the casino scrutinize everything about the game, the players, the table, etc. to make sure everything's on the up and up before paying out. I was at one of the boats one night when two hit an hour or so apart. That poker room ground to a halt while they made sure there wasn't frickery going on.

Why do you use letters for some numerical cards and numbers for others?
It makes your OP impossible to follow.
What is ThTs?

The following numbers start with T in a deck:
Two
Three
Ten
How were we supposed to figure that out?

The guy who started the hand with four 9's didn't even finish second.

It's vital information - if I'd just typed TT then you wouldn't be sure the T diamonds (and only that one) would matter.
Be glad I didn't throw in extra stuff for fun like "The UTG cb and UTG+1 min-raised, then the CO flatted."
nb4 a cb with pocket TT doesn't make sense. Bite me.

I think he had 4 of a kind with 4 9's
Somebody else beat him with 4 10's
Hand was won by somebody with royal straight flush
