WTF ABSOLUTE

So i log on today on Absolue and see that almost every 50nl table is a bad beat jackpot table. You cant beat the rake and their only running like 3 tables of normal game. This sucks since i finally found a site with good rakeback and easy competition.

I don't understand your objection? Can you explain. Is it a higher rake on those tables??

yes they take 50 cents on top of the normal rake. Thats impossible to beat at these micro stakes

at six max very very few hands qualify for the BBJ (maybe 1 in 30?) because u need 4 to take a flop for the bbj to be in effect.

full ring and fixed limit its a big difference, but 6-max its fairly negligible imo.

BBJ are a horrible deal if you care about bb/100. Unless its up to 28 billion. Then you prob have pot odds to play

Exactly, almost anybody playing $100 NL or below on a jackpot table, especially 6 max is going to be depositing often.

The BBJ is the biggest cash grab that AP has come up with yet. The sad thing is, that, all the donks love it. They are lining up to play at these tables, just like they line up to buy their Powerball lottery tickets, with visions of unimaginable wealth dancing in their heads. The concept of odds and probababilities, is totally aliean to these idiots. So look for AP to have every table with the BBJ soon.

no... they also changed this on AP a few weeks ago. only 2 people must see the flop and the pot must be 4 dollars.

But wait! If only donks play at BBJ tables, only BBJ tables will... No, scratch that.

If the BBJ tables have a bunch of donks playing there, who cares about an extra 50 cent rake? They play so bad, your winrate is almost guaranteed to go up, so what's the problem?
