- The Stars Align for a New Cool Hand Poker Player who Proves you Don'tNeed Good Cards to win at Poker. Heck, you Don't Even Need to be in the Hand.

In what can only be described as an unbelievable turn of events, a 21year-old Swedish online poker player with the alias LyanTerror27 has just wonUS$18,000at Cool Hand Poker, Despite joining the site less than 24 hoursprior, despite folding his hand pre-flop, and despite other players showingstraight-flushes. Two of them. In one hand.

Victor K (LyanTerror27) won the massive prize because he was playing onone of Cool Hand Poker's progressive 'Bad Beat Jackpot' tables, which aredesigned to add 'jackpot excitement', similar to online casino games, to thealready enjoyable game of poker. The progressive jackpot grows untiltriggered by a player losing a hand with cards equivalent to, or better than,four of a kind (8s or higher). Every player at the table gets a percentage ofthe jackpot, with the largest portions going to players who are active in thehand. Because he had folded, Victor won US$18,000, while the actual 'loser'took home more than US$150,000.

"It' all a little crazy," said Victor when contacted by a Cool Hand PokerRepresentative. "I saw a television ad for the site and liked the fact thatthere aren't professional players there, so I signed up. I played a fewhands, then folded pre-flop on one. I watched a couple of guys run the pot upto US$200. I was thinking flush versus straight-flush, but twostraight-flushes in one hand? Crazy! And then I realized I'd won US$18,000without even playing. It was totally insane."

When asked what he'd do with his winnings, the Swedish player said he wasgoing to take his twin brother and friends to "party in Amsterdam, and buymyself a Breitling watch."

Victor had downloaded Cool Hand Poker's Microgaming software less than 24hours earlier, and had played for less than 17 hours, meaning his prizeamounts to more than US$1,000 for every hour he played.

Despite the win, the Bad Beat Jackpot is once again approachingUS$100,000 at Cool Hand Poker, a site that provides a safe and enjoyableenvironment for new players to learn about the game and practice. The sitehas taken numerous steps to discourage professionals, commonly known as'sharks', from playing at the site, including limiting the number of gamesany player can be in at a given time, and providing smaller stakes tables.Cool Hand Poker also offers a poker school to help players develop andrecognize strategies and techniques that will improve their chances.
