Bad beat jackpot odds

cant_win · #1 06-02-2006, 08:11 AM

I was hoping some of you math wizards could help me out with this one. Whenever Party's bad beat gets over 100k, I start playing it. My question is: what are the chances of hitting it on a 6 man table vs hitting on a 10 man table? Also, has anyone been on a 6 man table when it hits? I really appreciate any responses on this. thanks

Not sure how I came across this the other day but there is some crazy math going on in this document. Maybe you'll find it there.

Good luck

It makes me so happy that that guy latexed-up his gambling calculation. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So does that mean that it's +EV to pay the $.50 JP drop whenever the jackpot gets above $77,500?

I think you need a jackpot larger than $77500 because many of the deals will not be played to a showdown. Especially some of the odd straight flush hands will probably be folded pre-flop.
