I'm not talking about putting bbj in there but if you win a couple thousand at 2/5 from say high hands over 1500 hrs aren't you essentially making up for the extra "rake". If you played that same game all a sudden with no jackpot drop your win rate would be higher period.
Clearly yes, and you can also argue the other form of rake/drop that rhymes with bip!

Not entirely true, as we have briefly mentioned the notion that jackpot brings in players, bad ones.

Is your skill as a player different because there is a drop compared to not? Obviously not
It's more complex than that, and most importantly, most players have no choice whether they want to play in a room with jackpot drop or not.
And I don't know why people so insist on looking at things in black and white: add jackpot or don't add it, real or fake WR, drop or no drop, and so forth, and yet not exactly meticulous about the qualifiers...
If you want to draw a big circle and include bunch of things, then you should probably know that a lot of those things can probably be outside of the circle as well.
