Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

This was probably my biggest chance to win. I'm down $300 on the day "chasing" this beast. Guess I should go back to fulltime sleeping.

you... you know you have to use both hole cards to qualify, right?

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

yeah, he's saying his opponent had 1/2 of the hole cards needed.

I'm doing about break even tonight after 2k hands, but calculated myself to have given $90 to this damn jackpot. AGHHHHHHHH

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Any guesses on when this thing will hit?

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Shortly after I pick up, most likely at my table.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

I'm slightly bored so I've decided to play non-stop until this thing hits (or I clear both my Party bonuses). Ah, so liberated after quting my "real" job today... reminds me I need to post some more on that later...

COME ON BONUS AT MY TABLE!!

I daresay he's calling for the perceived implied odds of 125,000 to one or so. But given that he's likely to be the one dishing out the bad beat he's probably only really getting 62500/1 so should be an easy fold.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Jackpots about at 499k, and I'm drunk, and I can't go to sleep until this thing hits. So much money..

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Have ten people on 2+2 take over a bad beat table. Play 300 hands/hr and everyone only plays pairs &gt; 8 and suited connectors.

Who's in? (or is this illegal?)

This is the biggest it\'s been, right?
 

sorry...
 

...but you deserve to lose.

Kind regards,

KC

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Anyone read the terms and conditions for it?

"Fund distribution
Every time the jackpot is hit, 70% of the jackpot amount will be distributed and 20% will be used as seed amount for the next jackpot. 10% will be retained by Party Poker as administrative fee. Of the distributed amount, 50% will go to the loser of the hand (the Bad Beat), 25% to the winner and 25% will be split between the other seated players who actively participated in the hand (any player sitting out will not receive a portion of the jackpot). "

a 10% administrative fee? screw it.

We went over this in another thread, but I'm sorry to hear $450,000 isnt an acceptable jackpot for you.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

actually $350,000 as 20% starts the next jackpot.

i just don't like party taking a fee off the extra rake

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Well, Party's been great for me so I don't begrudge them some big profits as long as the site remains well run.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

understandable... i was just trying to point out that the bb isn't as big as they're advertising

I play party regularly

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Im' at work ... is the jackpot still growing?

I wonder if it will still be alive at 10.00pm tonight ...

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

516k and counting.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

I'm such a tool. I deposited into my party account just for a crack at this BBJ. Playing 2/4 full and I normally play 5/10 6-max, what the hell...

Fortunately, I have never hit so many sets in such a short period of time in my life. It's amazing. Just keep hoping I improve to quads and somebody goes to a straight flush...

This is good times though.

Oh, and it's at 522k and counting...

It's actually more than 10%, because party takes their 10% cut of the total jackpot then some of it stays in the jackpot and they get paid on it again and again when the jackpot hits again.

I've only played the BBJ tables for a couple of hours, the 2-4 game is loose as anything and crappy, but I still find a way to lose most of the time (went on one nice run to even it out though). No hands that came close to qualifying while I was sitting...darn.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Assuming a $500,000 jackpot, here's how it splits -

10% to Party - $50,000
20% to seed next jackpot - $100,000
70% to players
- 50% of that to the loser of the hand - $175,000
- 25% to the winner - $87,500
- 25% split among the other players - $10,937.50 each at a 10 person table

Can't complain about that!

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

523k.

I'm determined to hit this thing.

I've got Jackpot Fever!!

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

I don't think this is illegal. There's a group of guys from my local casino that do this whenever the bbjp gets high. Everyone just plays qualifying hands and checks it. Then, they split all the money evenly.

I'll be around today if you want to get a table going.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Smacks of collusion, doesn't it?

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

lets start a table, the only thing in the rules is:

"Players must play their hands independently and cannot tell opponents how to act or reveal their hand to other players. Violations will disqualify the hand for the Jackpot."

and that seems just hand specific, not even a general comment like don't raise preflop, which i say all the time. =] Lets start the 2+2 table, mine are al full.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

I am sure that party will not pay if they see that is what happened

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

we did this on the $450k jackpot maybe 2-3 mths ago I think.

we had fun but it was pretty silly.

you will have a VERY difficult time maintaining 10 2+2'ers at the table. 1 or 2 outsiders (at least) are likely to creep-in and create all sorts of chaos.

Also, since none of us really knows anyone else here there is the very real possibility that the money will not be split legitimately. Going on the honor system to split the whole thing is -EV if you intend on keeping your word about it but some of the other don't.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Why didn't you cap that flop?

i'd be more than happy with 10+k and just going with whoever gets luckiest gets the big'un.

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Everyone would just keep what Party gave them if it hit. It'd still be worth it for 10k...

Re: Party Jackpot $500,000!!!!
 

Have to agree. You need to cap the flop here.

Anybody with a jackpot-potential hand will stick around anyway. Get the max-value here.
