Re: Why are people raising preflop on the PP bad beat tables?

Which means the only hands that would really help to hit that are pocket pairs and suited connectors. You could in theory hit it with Ax or Kx on a 88899 board (pocket 9's beating K8).

you can also hit it with 32s...or even 75s (board of 4689T, opponent holds JQs).
not that it's so much worth it to make it worthwhile to change your play...but raising DOES in fact fold out hands that could otherwise qualify.
I even folded 99 one time when the first 3 players had it capped before it got to me. Flop came 998 and I was getting ready to kill myself...then T on the turn and three hearts for a straight-flush possibility....but nobody had cards that would have made the bad-beat and I only lost out on a nice pot.
Easier to stomach missing out on $100 than it is $100k or so.
