Bad beat jackpots are essentially very large ladbrokes pocker consolation prizes for a poker sites players in the unlikely event that they manage to get incredibly unfortunate and lose a pot with a very powerful hand. Ladbrokes Pocker is a great place to have a try at scoring a bad beat jackpot www.ladbrokespoker.com

These jackpots usually apply to Texas Holdem ladbrokes pocker games, and are often claimable in cash games only. From my experience these jackpots build up progressively over weeks or months and are payable in the following circumstances, a ‘full house’ of 3 aces and 2 kings is often the minimum requirement, and must be beaten in one particular hand for the ladbrokes pocker player to qualify.

These specific types of jackpot payouts are certainly not something which would personally sway my decisions on where I would play my online poker, but then I don’t think that is primarily their function. These sort of prizes are not offered as an initial way of luring players to the site making this offer, more as a safegaurd against someone having this extremely unfortunate set of circumstances happen to them, and be so annoyed that they decide not to play on that site anymore.

Although it may not sound so, it is very rare for you to make hands of this type of strength and find them beaten. consequentially I don’t feel it is really worth troubling yourself much over how large the ladbrokes pocker jackpot is, or play any more poker than you usually might, just to have more chance of winning it.

That said, it does no harm at all I suppose, to have these ladbrokes pocker bad beat jackpots in place, just in case the almost impossible, and very worst, should actually happen. www.ladbrokespocker.com
