I wasnt expecting to get any money from those people. I was just seriously disgusted that it managed to go off while I was waiting to post.

I've only skimmed this thread (sorry if I'm repeating someone) but it seems that the answer suggests itself: if you're going to get so worked up over not winning the jackpot when you're dealt out of the hand, THEN DON'T WAIT TWO HANDS TO COME IN AT YOUR NATURAL BLIND. Sheesh.

FWIW I believe Miller et all in SSHE published the opinion that it doesn't change expectation much no matter when you come in. I usually wait one hand but no more than that. I presume it also depends on the preflop aggression of one's game.

Still, if the BBJ was enough to weigh on your decision to play, it seems like it would cause you to play the extra two hands. To save a blind you lost out on a table share of the jackpot -- results-oriented thinking at its finest. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
