FWIW, i have actually lost MORE than this dude on party bj and other various bj's. playing it live is the most awesome though.

just to add a little spice to it, i have lost over 1k playing rock paper scissors.

i have lost 3k at casino war.

i have lost several k in craps.

i am actually up 20k or so at bacarrat.

oh yeah when its all said and done, i still have a roof over my head, food to eat and get to wear nice clothes and still donate a little extra every month to charity. playing a little here and there DOES NOT MAKE YOU A MORON. its okay to have a little bit of fun you know.

CDC,

When does "just having some fun" turn into "being taken by horrible sucker bets?" If I know I'm 90% to lose a wager, I'm not going to take the bet because I don't get enough of a thrill from gambling. On the other hand, I'll play some live BJ because I'm 51-55% to lose or whatever and I don't mind giving up a bit of an edge for some fun.

Party BJ, on the other hand, is something like 62%. When you're talking about wagering $20k and losing $12.4k of it, I wouldn't get enough enjoyment out of it to take the bet, especially when the experience is at home, in my underwear, over the span of 10 minutes. Party BJ is too close to "sucker bet" and too far from "casino-level enjoyment" for me.

Don't get me wrong, I completely understand that some people can afford it, some people are action monkeys, and so on. That doesn't mean I don't think those people are effing morons, however.

"Party BJ, on the other hand, is something like 62%."

IronDragon1,

You n00b. go find a website with 100k betting limits. If you bet 20k and lose then bet 40k. If you lose that bet 80k. You def. won't lose 3 hands in a row. The odds of that are like infinity to one.

I think partys rules are quite good, somewhere around 0.2% edge?

Aha ha ha. Oh, gosh that's funny. That's really funny. Do you write your own material? Do you? Because that is so fresh. Standard! You know, I've never heard anyone make that joke before. Mmm. You're the first. I've never heard anyone reference, reference that before. Because that's what everyone in BBV says, right? Isn't it? Standard!

And yet, you have taken that and used it out of context, to insult me in this everyday situation. God what a clever, smart girl you must be, to come up with a joke like that all by yourself. Mmm, that's so fresh too. Any titanic jokes you want to throw at me while we're hitting these at the height of their popularity? Hmm? Cause... I'm here.

God you're SO funny.

.55% according to Wizardofodds.com

I'm up an insane amount of Party BJ. I seem to be one of the few though.

To answer another poster, after the peak and starting to give it back I asked Party to block it Every other poker room will block it but they will not do it. They say it is impossible to block it, only hide it. As much as an action junkie as I am I at least the discipline to stop playing it before they got it all back.
