Re: Are Jackpots +ev?
This is an interesting point I did not consider. Since you are winning pots at a smaller rate than everyone else, you are not contributing to the jackpot as much. If you win 8% of pots with a jackpot contribution, you are paying for only 8% of the jackpot, but have 10% of the benefits. So you are getting a 20% increase on your earn on the jackpot. The question now is asked, is it like Party Poker, who takes a cut of the jackpot? If they take over 20%, you are getting the short end. This could make it +EV in itself. Also, players playing poorly is always +EV.
