Ultimate Bet Jackpot
The bad beat jackpot at ultimatebet or absolute poker as they are linked together through the cereus network is huge. The last time it hit was august 19th at at a no limit 50c$1 table. I was playing that same limit on 2 tables so I won 2 shares of 257 bucks while the winner of the jackpot won 220k:drool5:
The jackpot reset at about a third so it began at 200k aug 19th. Now its up to 550k. Normally, the jackpot is around 100k and it hits like every other day. These last 2 jackpots amounts are rare so get on the tables, I've seen the jackpot as low as 25k. I believe the most likely table type it will hit is the fixed limit 50c$1 tables. You can buyin as cheap as 10 bucks to play at a shot of about 200k!:biggrinjester:

The jackpot hit last night in a huge coincidence of hitting at 676,490 on the same day of the week and within 3 hours of the previous it which was at almost the exact same amount of about 676,700 and it hit both times at nl50c$1. Aug 19th I was playing 2 tables of that so I got 2 shares of 257 bucks. Yesterday I was nearly broke and was only playing fixed 50c$1. To win you have to be on the same type of game, not just the same stakes so I lost out. I lost over 500 bucks trying to hit the jackpot.
I don't see how anyone can win at fixed 50c$1 but I played those limits because it seems to be the easiest to hit mathematically because people all the garbage hands like 23suited that could hit the perfect situation of 456 flop and the other jackpot chaser has the more legitimate holding of 78suited. The average pots are 5 bucks and the rake is about 80 cents. You put in about half the money and definitely don't win more than 50pct of the hands because there are always at least 3 to the flop because they are playing the donkey 1 in a billion jackpot type hand. I was beyond frustrated losing to people playing 47suited and calling all the way with bottom pair to suckout on the river. AA KK QQ lost more than their fare share because of the amount of players calling preflop raises with garbage. I wouldn't be mad if we hit the badbeat, but they were killing my big pockets.
