Default Re: Big Party BB Jackpot. Anyone want to setup a \"special\" table?

It's not a new idea.

we did this in January when the JP was at $700k or whatever it was.

It was silly and fun....but wasn't really working.
There were always 1 or 2 players who were NOT checking it down.
There were people always talking in the chat-box about how best to play one's hands (including the players AND the observers who would swing by to laugh and laugh).
there were people who didn't know what the hell they should be doing or how they should be playing.
There were 1 or 2 stragglers who weren't involved in the little 'scheme' at all who kind of screwed things up too.


It was silly and ridiculous...but it wasn't very effective...and you are better off EV-wise just playing 'normal' poker against a bunch of fish on one of the BBJ tables and hoping that it hits there.

We don't know IF party would read the thread here and void the jackpot pay-out if you hit it.
We DO know that there is a CHANCE that this would happen.
Even if you think that the chance of Party doing something like that is as low as 5% then your EV is better MONEY-wise to just play on a regular JP table.

However, the EV you get entertainment-wise by playing so silly with a bunch of other 2+2'ers is pretty high.
