The big difference, as demonstrated back when the Fort and CAZ were battling over BBJ's is the seed or starting money. Many rooms start their jackpots with a lot more money.

Another factor with CAZ is the number of tables, if you have 10 tables versus ~50 tables, the ~50 table room is going to see more frequent wins, never allowing the BBJ to grow with time.

If I remember right CAZ's BBJ starts with something like $5K and gets $2500 added to every two hours except overnight when they freeze it, correct me if I am wrong.

The good news is that with 5x the tables, it should go up 5x faster!

Oh, wait...

The answer is that the "jackpot" money isn't jackpot money. It's promotional money. And by promotional money, they mean "overlays on tournaments" and "football money" and anything else they "give" to the players. (And see elsewhere in this thread for a reminder that tournament overlays don't include the juice taken for the tournament.)

The point is, that $2 is robbed from left and right. So little of it makes it to the jackpot that they should be ashamed of themselves.

...but we're sheep, so they don't care.

Ask yourself, are jackpots twice as big as they were when it was $1 dropped?

Why not?

Oh...

I played 2/5 for the first time this weekend since they changed from 5/150, and everyone at the table, dealer included, were unhappy with me.

When I bought into the game, I bought in with 460 red and 40 white.

I use the white for a) blinds b) tips and c) raises

After I use them for c) raises a few times I am politely asked to please keep my opening raises in $5 increments, since no one else at the table has $1 chips except for the dealer, so he is having to make change left and right.

After I raise to $17 preflop again, the dealer almost reaches across the table to color up my whites.

.....

If I'm there the next time you sit in that game call me over and we'll both use whites.

Do you even like live poker?

Not quite sure what this means...

of course I do!

Hm, now I'M trying to figure out who you are....obv I was there. Was I "signaled" tonight? Is your name Beauregard?

You must savor it, if you like making the slowest game in the house even slower...

Thats where you were going.

The game seemed pretty quick, but I was a bit hungover.

It has to be quicker than 3/6 limit, 1/2 spread and 4/8 Omaha.


And, if I raise to 17 and the SB calls...NO CHANGE MADE

If I raise to 17 and a different player calls, and change is made for that player...THE DEALER DOESN'T HAVE TO MAKE CHANGE FOR THE RAKE.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG IM SLOWING IT DOWN

I was talking about your penchant for wearing wrap around sunglasses, WPT hat, and oversized headphones, while you stare down your opponent for 60 seconds every hand before folding.

Edit: Sorry, wrong Pope. I was thinking of Benedict XVI.

It was Tuesday night i saw MF ,you weren't in the game at that time.
I did see you in there Wednesday but didnt deal the game.

I haven't seen this first hand, but no reason for this guy to lie...

Confirmed.

Mark

Ah, it was monday night I was there. My days are all running together.

They have been doing the cash back for a couple days at least. Payouts seem to be either $55 or $60, ive not heard of any over that amount.
I dont have a players club card, i wonder i can sign up and swipe once and get paaaaid.

$60 baby! I was up before I even sat down yesterday....

Then I lost two purples somewhere in the room. Bye bye sweet victory...

If you swiped your card at least once since April 15 then you get credited with $55. Oddly enough they don't seem to have it advertised anywhere and even one of the people at the player's club didn't know about it until the manager came and showed him what to do.

I asked about when the comp system would be up for real and what the rate would be and the floor person said he had no idea.

Hopefully you talked to the floor/cage. Best of luck, been there done that, it sucks hard.

really? A voucher for cash for play since Apr 15th?

I've had many dropped purples returned to me at CAZ, it was about time I finally learned my lesson. The floor said that when they checked the tape it was clear that the little bag with the purples was partially hanging from my pocket, but when I moved tables they lost the angle. I think it probably dropped when I went for a walk in the Casino.

Do they consider comps as "promotion" and pay for it with the jackpot drop?

I don't think so. The promotional fund went up another 10K or so since yesterday. It should be down a bit tomorrow bec a 17+K JP was hit while I was there today.

I checked and it turns out I got $55 on my card. That's about 10cents/hr. Whooppeeeeee..........

You sure stayed away for a month.

the last couple days i've been playing 3/5 game and its pretty dead......

I admit it: I can't stand being w/ my mother for a month. btw: I was at your 3-6 table earlier. Do you really need to sit in w/ 3K?
