i dont think its so crazy to think that sites are rigged, im not willing to say thaat they definitely are but i think it is very possible i mean greed will make people do a lot of things and i dont think its so far fetched that a site would create pots like that in order to build up more rake.

@finishing last. Yeah I have seen that happen before as well where the royal was made with only one of the hole cards and so it doesn't count in the bad beat JP.

In Las Vegas they had a mega JP at the stations casinos. These are around 5-6 smaller sized casinos that are scattered in the outlying areas of Las Vegas. It is oriented towards families who live in the Las Vegas area although they also have fairly good sized hotels, restaurants, movie theatres, bowling alleys, as well as some stores inside. They also have full Casino and some of them have fairly good sized poker rooms. The largest at around 40 tables and the smallest one only had 5-6 tables. I used to go to the one near Green Valley (an area inside of Henderson Nevada which is a suburb of Las Vegas). They had a great 2-5 nlhe game with a $1,500 max buy in. I won a ton of money there (also was where I lost with the Queens full, had flopped top se,t and turned the fh. Only to lose on the river to the case king for $1100).

I knew that my opponent had KK or AA the way he was acting preflop and so I just cold called his 3 bet looking to flop a set or to fold if there was any significant action on the flop.. There were 5 players seeing the flop despite his reraise to $60 as well. I had made the initial raise to 25 nfrom UTG +1 and 3 other players had called my raise before the BB reraised it, so no way I was going to fold my queens preflop with the implied odds being so large. Especially when I was pretty sure I knew what I was up against with regards to him and the fact that the loose players who had called did not show any strength the first time around the table.

He pushed all in on the turn with board of Qh,10h,6s,6h. I had raised him to 300 when he led out for 75 on the flop and he didn't even hesitate to call me. After his push and my call I revealed my queens full. He says "Well at least I got 2 outs" and tabled his KhKd. Another player said "I folded the Ks. I know because I had the Js too and was going to call until the raise on the flop". Boing~ the Kc hits on the river. That's poker! Has happened many a times and will happen to me again.

I remember losing big pots in 30-60 limit hold em when I flopped a set of aces vs. a set of kings, and Aces full of Kings vs kings full of aces (she had AK). She was so dumb that she kept reraising me. It was raised 6 times on the flop before she just called and 6 times on the turn before she decided to only call again. The river king just killed me. I almost didn't pay her off. Funny thing was that she threw that $60 into the pot so fast when that king hit. I am everyone knew it. But at that point I was not going to fold just in case she didn't have the case king. But it took me a minute or two before I finally did. Then to top it off she gives the dealer a huge tip. What an Insult. Just about everyone at the table said You got Pocket Aces huh Doc. Of course I mucked it face up. What a joke!

Anyway they combine all of the poker rooms for the Mega JP at these Station Casinos. Everyone sitting in a game of 4 or more players would split up 10% of the prize pool that was sitting at the table where the bad beat happened. Everyone playing at anyone of the of the rooms at the time of the JP also won a share (it usually ran for around $600 per person) although it could also be for thousands if the JP occurred late at night. The winner (player who lost with quads or better to a bigger hand) received 40,000 and the winner of the pot (the best hand) won 15,000. The JP would continue to climb though and the bad beat hand was lowered from quad tens the first week, then Quad 9's, 8's, etc. until the JP was hit. it hit with surprising frequency and the lowest I ever saw the bad beat hand get to was pocket 4's. By that time the JP was almost 150k. The money paid out to everyone was the amount left after paying the two hands that were involved as well as the 10 percent to the players at the table.

I could keep going on and on about beats both good and bad. Yes, they do happen in the live games and Live tournaments and not just online. Runner runner one card straights and one card flushes happen all the time. Just doesn't seem as often because we rarely see the losing hand in a live game and the game plays about 1/3rd to 1/2 the speed of an online game. I could tell the story of my biggest cash game one hand win. It was a big pot of over $7,000 and is a great story. Maybe another time. I already feel kind of bad hijacking this post. Sorry for that. Hope my stories lessens some of the pain and frustration that you were feeling at least.
