Want to know the bad beats? Man's site now tells you
Itzhack Feldman admits his passion is an odd one.
"I live for the bad beat," says Feldman, of Hollywood.
And he has the web site to prove it: www.BadBeatNow.com.
A bad beat jackpot is when one player with a great hand loses to someone with an even better hand. In many cases, the loser has to have at least a full house of aces over jacks. Commonly, it's one player's four of a kind beats another's.
Casinos offer "bad beat jackpots" to draw people to the tables, and they often go over $100,000.
That's what catches Feldman's eye. He plays $1-$2 limit poker (the lowest-limit game, where you often win or lose only $20 a night) in hopes of hitting the bad beat.
His site, accessible via YouTube, contains the current bad beat jackpots of South Florida casinos. Feldman (pictured winning a Royal Flush, not a bad beat at Seminole Hollywood) calls the poker rooms daily, asking what the bad beat is.
Hey, I've heard of worse ways to make the world better.
