Bad Beat Jackpots Poker Sites

There is nothing worse than having a dream hand and losing to a bigger hand. It is even worse if you have a lot of money on the table in a cash game. This is why some poker sites offer a bad beat jackpot. If you have a huge hand (usually quad 7s or better qualifies) and you still lose the pot to a stronger hand, the bad beat jackpot will be paid out according to the payout schedule.

These bad beat jackpots can sometimes get into the $XXX,XXX range so there is a lot of money to be won here.
