You know, you can just not play at the BB tables....

[/ QUOTE ]I have this arguement with friends all the time. I think there are only two ways the BB tables are profitable: 1. The players are consistantly a lot worse, which I sometimes think they are especially at 2-4 since its the lowest limit. In this case you aren't actually making money from hitting the jackpot but from morons chasing it with straight flush and quad draws.2. The jackpot is huge, which sometimes it is. This is like playing the lottery only when its giant. The problem with this is the odds don't change, its still like winning the f-in' lottery.The huge jackpots also seem to draw a lot of bad players so that's another reason to play then. All the NL players come over and people move up limits when they shouldn't.Good Luck...
