Bad Beat Jackpot

[Frank H]

Once in a lifetime, crazy hand – had to share, even if it’s not in an official card room.

Early in the evening at the Home Game
$40-$100 buy in
0.25/0.50
9 players
average stack: $100

Pre-flop Action:
UTG limps (stack $45)
UTG+1 raises to $3 (stack $70)
Everyone but one calls (home game, everyone likes to see flop)
(Me)button with A5dd calls (Stack $50; mistake)
Blinds and UTG just call – family pot of $24

Flop: 9h Jh Js

UTG raises to $5
UTG+1 calls
HJ calls
CO calls
Everyone else folds
Pot: $44

Turn: 2s
UTG shoves for $40
UTG+1 re-shoves for $65
HJ shoves, has UTG and UTG+1 covered
CO folds

Everyone shows (home game, friendly)
UTG: Qh Kh, flush draw
UTG+1: 9d 9s, flopped FH
HJ: Js Jd, flopped quads

River: 10h
UTG wins with SF
CO reaches into muck and shows he folded 7h 8h for lower SF

Shots all around, and neverending questions as to why the house isn’t rolled to pay bad beat jackpot.

Good luck at the tables, all.
