Heard that the Trop BBJP hit last night. Congratulations to all that were part of the largest BBJP in A.C. history! I have nothing but the utmost respect for Scott! Good Job!

Crap, I left there around 1am. Knew i shoulda stuck around as it was over 300, and due for the hit.

I love when people say BBJ's are "due for a hit". Like when I'm flipping a coin and someone says "it's due for a tails" after heads coming up 5x in a row.

The current
Bad Beat Jackpot is:
$106,511

this is probably worth including in all these daily updates of ongoing games as it is free advertising...and may attract folks in and of itself...

You may be right about the coin flip, but what a coincidence that just after reaching $300K ours hit at $306, Bally’s hit at $310ish and now Trop $310ish.

I prefer a 4/8 with $1 chips only. I feel that a 4/8 game would be more of an 'action' game, as opposed to 5/10.
4/8 might also attract more casual players willing to try out stud 8.

.50 ante (20% of the SB), $1 BI is good for 4/8. A $1 ante/$1 BI is good also (I played with this in the 4/8 HORSE game in Harrah's LV), but it might scare off some people willing to try it out.

I really hope it gets going and sticks. Thanks Stan !

I don't really want to threadjack but I'm sure you aren't saying that once the BBJ goes over 300k it magically is easier to hit. Maybe it's slightly more likely to hit since the rooms are busier when the jackpot is high (especially in rooms that normally have empty tables) but saying it's "due for a hit" is nonsense.

just wanted to comment on how great Stan is. I went to meet him last night in the poker room and he was very friendly and cordial during our brief chat. Despite the fact that I got coolered to all hell (set over set, set vs turned flush, top 2 vs turned straight) and lost 2 BI at 2/5, he helped to make the experience all the more enjoyable.

From linked wikipedia page:

There is no principle that a small number of observations will converge to the expected value or that a streak of one value will immediately be "balanced" by the others. See also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambler%27s_fallacy
