PT4 tracks chips and equities fine (both in NLHE and PLO), but not real money (treats JPs as freerolls).

WPN Reps - Just a suggestion but since I like to randomly click the observe table option for each stake of these games I notice if the top game going freezes out where it gets suspended by host it stays that way as the observed table for hours.

Why not just get your programer to make it so if the same game has been showing for over 20 to 25 minutes it gets booted off this and onto the next highest game running at the time?

Can you enable using $T for these things? I don't see the reason why you couldn't.

Sites pretty tilting.

I entered 4 jackpots.

I busted 2, and was Heads Up in 2. Then it crashed.

I got straight refunds for 2. Nothing for the others.

Scummy.

yeah i know what you mean.

i hate playing two tournaments i completed without issue and never getting refunded for them.

So what happens to the extra prize pool $ (i.e. "jackpot")? It's just a cancelled game?

10bb start stack seems like a really bad idea for these.

Yeah, that would be absolutely terrible. With 15-25 bb (the first 2-3 levels), there's still enough postflop play, without which the rake of these tourneys can't really be beat.

Definitely some play which I like especially when one guy gets eliminated in the first hand or two in many of these that I've played allowing for a nice little heads up match with around 50bbs on the table through the 15/30 level.

Yes, exactly, the game usually enters the HU phase pretty fast That's why HU hyper regs feel entitled to all the money here, though the two coaches from whose streams I learn have come from 6-man turbos and CAP NLHE, respectively, but are doing pretty well in Stars' 30s-60s (their 36% ITM is already an achievement there).

A great news for PT4 users

It now auto-centers the HUD correctly in JPs. Also, it now detects the buy-in and the finish place correctly and draws the winnings and EV graph basing on the average prize pool (i.e. whenever you win, it always says that you've won 1.82 BIs net because multipliers are still not written into HH files). Install v. 4.13.2 from the official site to make use of the update!

Tournaments imported prior to the update require purge and reimport if you want the places and winnings in them to be displayed properly.

Nice; thanks for the info. If I decide to try these, I might try to write a script that grabs the prizepool and writes a tournament summary.

Pleaseeeeee!

they want $T to be used only for tournaments to help reach their guarentees

I sent email the other day to support and asked to have my T$ moved to cash so i could play Jackpot they swapped them to real cash no problems

yep, just have to use it toward SNGs. pretty awesome feature, props to WPN for this.

Hey WPN Rep. Can we get some filters on the jackpot games next update. Misclicked PLO couple times now! Thanks

+1 Awesome! I was going to request the same thing today... Lobby is starting to get crowded...

Thank you for adding PLO. I'm not even that good at PLO but this is like printing money.

That's actually why the PLO JPTs are yet profitable

Anyone's edge over you is so thin (equities run too close and stacks are too short for a meaningful postflop) that you won't lose much by playing a couple of them accidentally.

People think omg variance in PLO will be too huge but there are ways to play where you don't get blasted out of every pot in the game unlike holdem.

I was skeptical of these jackpot SnGs at first, but since I've been playing them I can see they are truly innovative and awesome!

There's a huge element of luck involved with winning a big prize, but if you're a skilled regular you can hold your own in this format. I love the fact that the design of this tournament style is very attractive to recreational players. That fact alone is enough to attract this regular.

It would be nice to know the frequency that each jackpot size occurs to help me determine my potential win rate. For now I'll just have to be happy with the fact that it is positive.

FWIW I think this is definitely the right way for poker to go in the future. Having a strong element of chance for a player to win a big prize with a small investment is great for poker IMO. Obviously that is why MTTs are so much more popular for recreational players than cash games.

Keep up the good work WPN!
