If I remember correctly, the BBJP had no extra drop when it was in beta.

You are very correct.

You can be quite certain that when these go out of Beta, there will absolutely be a drop. Play them now while they are free, it won't last long.

They better start charging a drop soon, b/c SFs get hit ALL the time on Party -- anyone want to get an exact frequency # from PT?
I haven't seen just how many HHJP tables there are, but SFs, in the aggregate, really aren't all that rare.

Remember people: check/call them down.

Does anyone know if this applies to any NL tables as well as limit?

[/ QUOTE ]
Only LHE. I imagine this is not going to change when it goes out of beta because the BBJP tables are only LHE also.

Thats a receipe for disaster. You need the hand to be raked along with a showdown.

This just happened and popped up on my screen....

Tburgerking has hit the Beta High Hand jackpot and won $699.99.

jokerkoz, JohnnyDead2, rennwon, LeftyAce, Ride_ABasin, eetinya, gd2bnnc played in the hand and each received $42.86.

The next Beta High Hand Jackpot has been reset to $999.97.

So that is how it works I guess.

lol, guess it didn't work out (for them)...

It's 10K seeded for a Royal now...

I'm too lazy to figure this out myself: when they do institute a charge, what's the lowest drop that would make playing at these tables +EV?

[/ QUOTE ]

It's an academic question because you can almost guarantee Party won't use a drop amount that makes the tables -EV for them. I'm too lazy to figure it out now too.

[TommyTutone]

And I'm sure like the BBJ tables, they will institute a reseeding amount of 25% and an 'admin' fee of 60% or so. [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

jackpot is fixed at 1k, they just reseed it when its won

[/ QUOTE ]
That's what it sounds like. But then I don't understand this from the page I linked:
[ QUOTE ]
In the event that two qualifying Jackpot hands are hit at exactly the same time, the hand starting first (based on our system clock) will be awarded the jackpot.

[/ QUOTE ]
If it is reseeded every time it is hit, shouldn't both people get $1k? Also, if I open one of the tables, the current jackpot is $1000.03. Where did those three extra cents come from?

[/ QUOTE ]

I think the same time wording is in there for once they stop calling it a beta and start collecting a drop each hand. Once they do that they wouldn't be able to award both people the same jackpot.

Also right now since you have about 1/65000 odds of hitting a royal in one hand. At a full table party is basically giving away over a buck per hand.
