Quad tens must beat. Both players must use their two hole cards. In texas holdem you're dealt two cards and after several rounds of betting you make a 5 card hand from your two "hole" cards and 5 community cards.

An example of a bad beat is if player one(P1) is dealt 10h/10c and player two (P2) is dealt Js/Jd and the community cards are 10s, 10d, Jh, Jc, 3c; here quad tens is beat by quad jacks.

Another example would be, P1 is dealt 2s/3s and P2 is dealt Ah/Ac and the community cards come out As, 4s, 5s, Ad, 9d; here Quad Aces is beaten by a straight flush.

Do you have a question?
 
The question appears to be in title of the thread.

Here is a link to some probabilities for different qualifying hands:

So assuming you have ten players that never fold and Type 3 rules, the probability that your table will hit a bad beat jackpot for quad 10's is 0.00000357 or about 1 in 300,000. Since in reality no one never folds, the actual probability is much smaller than this.
 
Hi all, I've been a roulette player for more than 10 years (although I took time off here and there) and it's only now that I'm trying to understand the physics of the game. Basically my strategy in roulette is to divide the wheel roughly into two halves (let's call them A and B). My theory is that in roulette there will invariably be variance. In other words, if A comes up 5 times in a row, B will be due to come up soon. However I have been proven wrong many times, and I have seen some...
Namaste & G'day Postulate: A strongly-knit team wins on average over a less knit one Fundamentals: - Two teams face off with 4 players each - A polo team consists of players that each have assigned to them a measure of their ability (called a "Handicap" - 10 is highest, -2 lowest) I attempted to measure close-knitness of a team in terms of standard deviation (SD) of handicaps of the players. Failure: It turns out that, more often than, a team with a higher SD wins. In my language, that...
