WOW: Didn't expect this one.

Tonight the 1/2 tables were a little slow and not filling so I sat at a couple of stud tables waiting for players and sat in a normal limit holdem table to see how I faired (haven't ever dedicated much time to limit before).

Anyway, I play about 5 rounds of the table when I pick up two jacks, 3-bet pre-flop.

Flop comes down jjk.

That will certainly do me, cap the betting.
Next card, 5, capped.

Next card, another k.

I begin to worry as the guy flips his pocket kings over but then remember that Pacific have bad beat jackpots and I just qualified.
Jaw hits floor as announcement pops up on table and othe rplayers congratulate me.

Played 0 hands of stud, been sitting down for about 30 mins, and BOOM

Instant $500 bonus for me.

That felt good, and especially at my first limit game and first ever quad over quad experience.

So, as I begin to play stud now my table fills, I can post saying.

BR: $1711 woo for bad beats

Should certainly make this operation more interesting.
I'll continue at 1/2 despite now being rolled for 2/4 as I haven't really played enough hands to prove myself a winner at that level yet.

Woo for me.
