You have a lesser hand, but you win?

Typically, the 'losing' hand gets 40% of the jackpot, the 'winning' hand gets 20% and the rest of the table splits the other 40% - Will Hunting Dec 17, 13:10
if you have a good enough hand that's beat by an even better one, you win a consolation jackpot - Reagen Dec 17, 12:47 8

- But it's only Aces over Kings. I can see that. -- nm - spamlet Dec 17, 12:50 5
  - Lowest I ever saw was Aces over Jacks....standard around here is quads getting beat - Will Hunting Dec 17, 13:08 3
    - two worst beats I ever witnessed: - Reagen Dec 17, 13:15 2
      - Yeah, that's rough..... - Will Hunting Dec 17, 13:26
      - Whoops; Had the first one a bit wrong as it was not a cheating deck. Big stack had AK. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 13:18
  - it's usually quad 10s at a minimum. -- nm - Reagen Dec 17, 12:59
you don't win the hand, just the bad beat jackpot. -- nm - Beaker Dec 17, 12:44
