What has happend to the bad beat jackpots? They are now all around 30k or so. When the big one was won last month you guys kept 250k, was that not to seed the new bbjp?
Another quick ? when you buy into a tourney thats running (late reg) how do you find out what the starting chip stack was/is?
thanks

The day after the BBJ was hit for over 1 milly , it was over 200k again, so it was hit soon after.

As for mtts, you cant see the starting stack while the tourney is going, try asking someone at the table. Or look at the chip average and if its like 4468 avg chipcount, the start was probably 4k.. know what i mean? Unless you get in reaaally late then maybe it as a 3k start

^ THANKS i was hoping they would put the starting stack info in the tourney description and have been doing what you said sorta guessing. lol strange that they leave that info out.
Did they change the bad beat jackpot to include lesser hands IE: aces full etc etc as it does not seem to be growing like before

np, before mtts begin though they have the starting chipcounts for most tourneys in the upper left corner.

no the BBJ rules stayed the same. the jackpot growing by the 1c timer thingy does seem to be going slower i think. i dunno

thanks mark i have seen those. a few times though i have wanted to join an in progress tourney (late registration) i can find the buy in amount and all other info except how many chips i'm gonna get when i buy in

frustrating. I have come close most times with just guessing

I have requested b4 that the starting stack be shown in the lobby. I know they show the figure for 3k starting stack tourneys that were added 1 month ago. It would be nice and simple to add this to all tourney lobbies.

If you scroll down the chipstacks look for the ones that are even like 3,000, 4,000, or 2,500. Usually you will find at least 2 or more stacks that are an even 3k or 4k.
