FOLDING THE BAD BEAT JACKPOT - I AM A MORON@!

[Brandon J. Fuchs]

I folded 2-2 preflop to 2 raises in the 2-4 bad beat. Flop comes 2-2-A, turn is a K, river a A. The 2 guys showed down AA and KQ. Am I A FRIGGIN MORON OR WHAT? For an extra $4 I FOLDED 250K. I don't deserve to play poker.

you have just saved money. as i know the jackpot is 4 of 8's to be qualify.

[MicroBob]

That's what it says now anyway.
It used to be quad-2's.
Somewhere in there it changed to Quad-8's.

You would NOT havewon the JP so you can rest easy now.

[Alobar]

even tho you wouldnt have had the jackpot, let this be a lesson to you. If you are going to throw 50cents a hand away to play at a JP table, do yourself a favor and play pocket pairs and suited connectors

[MicroBob]

Or, in this case, play pocket-pairs 88 or higher. Feel free to throw away all of those 77 and under hands if you like.

Well, the loser only gets 40%, so he only folded 100k. (Not that quad 2s qualify.)

Gee if 2+2ers are going to start calling 3bets preflop with 2-2 Party REALLY is on to something.

[daryn]

[Slacker13]
