Seems you have quite the experience.
I have been playing poker since 2002 roughly. Ive seen Straight Flush vs Quads several times, but really not too often at all. I am not sure on the precise stats but ...
What I was getting at is that, roughly, if we take into account all the people who can play on pokerstars it seems to me that this bad beat will occur more frequently than the 2 or 3 times a year that you said in the previous message. But to know accurate data we should have data on total hands played by everyone there in a calendar year.
I'll have a look at it.
Thats correct.
But even in Pokerstars or GG, not all tables and stakes have the badbeat feauture. The jackpot is inclusive only on Holdem, only cash games and only from stakes of $1-$2 and above (or something like that)…
So the number of hands played in total in the brand is less relevant, as only the hands within the tables with the feature enabled should be counted.
Its interesting. I just read an article that one player on GG won the badbeat 3 times!
So perhaps i was over-estimating it ☺️
Anyway, great conversation.
Looking forward to seeing you with us on Ultimate Poker!
