Is it worth it to play the 2/4 bad beat jack pot tables on PArty?

how many ptbb/100 hands the bad beat jackpots represents?

It's glaringly obvious that it's -EV, if you ignore the impact that it has on the player pool.

Just how -EV? I dunno.

If anybody actually cares enough to try to work this out, this might help:

Do they run NL BBJ tables now? That'd be kind of cool.

btw: Their conclusion is that in a ten handed game, the odds of a "qualifying semi-deal" (meaning that all players see showdown) are 155,000:1 against.

Of course, lots of the hands that would have qualified never see a flop, let alone a river, or there aren't 4 people dealt into the hand, and thus it doesn't qualify.

Thus, a bad-beat qualifying semi-deal is unlikely under these rules.
