OK my initial post was very short since I was still at work. First, you are in the wrong thread. Ppl here play micros so they dont (the big majority of them) have any experience of bbjp. That said I can guess that you need to follow a totally different strategy playing this game. Do you play to win the jackpot or to make money from playing winning poker? I assume the first. I have no idea what the best strategy would be, if any can exist. It seems to me that the odds of winning the jackpot are extremely unfavourable and there is no guaranteed amount that you could win. You are better off playing the lottery.

But if you try to maximise your chances of winning then you need to play a lot more hands. I can guess ANY suited connectors (straight flush draw) and pairs (8s and higher - 4 of a kind draw) from ANY position - your VPIP says a different story. You would also need to go to a lot more showdowns with a promising board to get a share of the jackpot - your WSD number again says that you don't. Of course this play will result in losing money in the long run but you increase your chances of winning the jackpot.

It's possible that you might want to make money playing real poker because of the loose - recreational - bad players on the table. But will you beat the increased rake or are you better off playing at the normal tables? How would you like the situation of getting a winrate of 3-4 BB/100 and miss a huge jackpot b/c you folded your hand?

I have to add again that I have no experience of bbjp games and so you need not to take anything I said as any kind of solid advice.
