Just looking over this thread again... you know what is REALLY sick? How god-damn hard it is to hit the Bad Beat Jackpot. On one of the hands, Hero held J8, but folded preflop. *If* he held on, he would have made quad 8s. (Not too shabby.) To continue the hypothetical, if someone else held QQ, and the turn and river brought runner runner Q's, then it still wouldn't qualify for the jackpot.
What!? Yes...
Rules state both players must use both cards in their hand, and (I think) there has to be more than 3 players in the pot at the beginning of the hand.
Utterly ridiculous, IMO.
