Congrats!!!!
 
Been sneaking away to Parx on slow work days and today was no exception. The only difference is that I had the hand of my life and binked a straight flush vs quad 6s. The win was good for 20% of the BBJ.

1/3 NLHE
Hero in the BB 5s7s
Folds around to hijack, makes it $12
CO calls $12
Folds to hero, call the $12

3 players

10c 3s 4s

Flop gets checked

Turn is 6s

Hero checks
HJ bets $20
CO calls $20
Hero raises to $50
HJ folds
CO calls $50

River 6d

Hero makes it $80
CO goes all-in
Hero calls

It took a bunch of luck as well as a questionable flop check by me, but it got there in the end.

First time hitting a straight flush using both hole cards and first time being involved in a bad beat jackpot hand.

Woah, congrats! Table must of went nuts :) that’s a decent profit for $1/$3 :)

Question (not meant to be rude): why did it pay out at 20% of BBJ? Straight Flush > Quads is way high up there and both used hole cards. Only higher is Royal > Straight?

Not rude at all. Every room does it a little differently, but at Parx 40% of the jackpot goes to the losing hand (quad 6s), 20% to the winning hand (my sf) and the remaining 40% gets split amongst the rest of the table.

Loser got around 104k, I got 52k, and the rest of the table received about 15k each for being dealt in.
 
Got it… also for some reason I was thinking as the Hero you’d get more and was expecting ~50%. Now realize clearly the villain gets the majority, then hero/table.

Awesome story and thanks for sharing. What a hit :)

Left out of this equation is that the hero also wins the pot that they were both all in.
