Bad Beats Online

Many online poker rooms post statistical data to demonstrate the randomness of the hands generated.

An additional amount of rake is taken from each hand to fund the jackpot. The largest online jackpot to date is $1.2 million.

Famous quotes containing the words bad and/or beats:

    If it’s a good script I’ll do it. And if it’s a bad script, and they pay me enough, I’ll do it.
    George Burns (b. 1896)

    Mind in its purest play is like some bat
    That beats about in caverns all alone,
    Contriving by a kind of senseless wit
    Not to conclude against a wall of stone.
    Richard Wilbur (b. 1921)
