I only have about 50k hands of poker under my belt but I've had quads a number of times and a straight flush several times (including two Royals!) and all those times I won and wasn't exactly up against someone with a hand that would've qualified for a BBJ. So I'm sure it is something that is pretty friggin hard to hit. Lose with Quad 8's or better, using both hole cards, what are the chances you even get a hand better than that and then someone else has to have an even better hand. Yeah I'm sure Party rigged it, because this should be hit every other day... Oh and the official record according to Party is $739,621 which oddly enough was hit this year on my friggin birthday (Jan 14).

Re: PP jackpot
I hit the table share a couple weeks ago, and yeah, you're right. I don't think I'd ever seen a hand that would have qualified before, let alone been on the giving or recieving side of the beat.

Re: PP jackpot
I've never seen a hand that would have qualified either (although I could have been on a table when one happened and just not noticed it).
Normally I think it hits roughly once per week or so (???). If there are 100 tables running and I'm on 5 tables then I have a 1:20 chance of being on the winning table if I just decide to play non-stop and never sleep until it finally hits. I've run into a couple of players who I believe have slept VERY little in the past few days (since it was $250k or $300k or so). One of the guys was asked if he had slept much in the past couple days (because we had ALL seen him like non-freaking-stop) and he said 5 or 6 hours total this week (and I am inclined to believe him). Quite a few of us were chasing after it when it got to over $700k back in january. I think slept through it actually being hit though. You have the same birthday as my sister (JAN 14).

Re: PP jackpot
Last November on Election day, I was playing $3/6 BBJ table, flopped quad 10's, dude hit running 9's. Jackpot was around $80,000 at the time. 2 weeks later on a $5/10 jackpot table, dude had bottom end of a straight flush and another guy had the royal. I get $5000 for watching that one.
Also, I was playing $5/10 6 max a few months later and won a hand where I had a straight flush over straight flush (both of us using both hole cards). No jackpot of course, but it was a jackpot eligible hand if we had been playing on the BBJ tables. I think you can search by my username for posts around November 2004 in the archives and find the hand histories.

PP could shuffle the hand through its RNG and then have a program check the hand before it's being dealt to the players to discard ervery hand that possibly hits the jackpot, right?
