UpperClassPoker has set out to accomplish the impossible – we’re going to give some of our unluckiest players a bad beat story that EVERYONE will want to hear.

Players who sit down at our Bad Beat Jackpot tables can win big when they lose large.

Your loss is your gain!

If your lose with quad Eights or better you’ll take home a hefty cut of the Bad Beat Jackpot that grows by leaps and bounds with every hand that’s dealt at our Bad Beat tables. We collect $.50 from every raked pot at our Bad Beat tables to build up the Jackpot until some desperately unlucky soul get coolered by a cold deck... and wins a bundle!

Get in the loser’s circle and win! 

Since we don’t want anyone at the winning table telling bad beat stories, we’ll share the wealth like no one else in online poker.

When the jackpot is hit, 25% will remain in the jackpot to seed the new jackpot. 10% goes to the house, and the rest of the cash goes to the players. The player suffering the bad beat gets half, the lucky duck who won the hand gets a quarter, the other players dealt in the hand get $1000 each and the remaining 25% (and this is where it gets interesting) is divided amongst ALL bad beat players at that limit and game type.

It is the Ultimate Bad Beat Jackpot and it is only at UpperClassPoker. Everybody wins especially the loser!

Take a seat and wait for your horrible, horrible luck to make you rich!
