On Tuesday the 26th (after downtime that morning), the Jackpot Poker lobby will include new two games:

$3 WSOP Jackpots
$30 WSOP Jackpots

Play Jackpot Poker to win a package for the WSOP Main Event!

See the unique games below. Buy in to a game once, if you never get last, you're guaranteed $12,500 for a single buy-in! To anticipate a few questions:

1. The $12,500 is a cash prize for you to enter the WSOP Main Event of your own volition.
2. Each game contributes to player rewards as usual: rakeback/elite program, clearing bonuses, and Sit & Crush.
3. When 1st and 2nd win a Try Again, this prize is cash: the Try Again is not forced. Players try again of their own volition.
4. Each game ends after one player loses all his chips. This is true whether each player gets the same prize or not. So when your table lands on a multiplier in which you all win the same prize, you'll still be dealt hands until one player busts.

So went from 1 in 1500~ to 1 in 4000 really dislike the change.

So it's 12.5k if we show prove of entry or regardless and is the money credited once a jackpot hits or do we need to wait to get the funds?

More gimmicks created very fast, and still no real software updates such as hand for hand, mucked cards at showdown, lobby changes, avatars.

Can't say I'm surprised, truly disappointed

They already said its to hard to do.

$12.5K credited when Jackpot game completes.

I think you have your math wrong, unless I'm misunderstanding.

$30 buy-in is 1 in 1,666 games. That's 3 winners in 1,666 games; or an average of one winner in every 555 games.

So, the last place jackpot is 30 bucks for a 3 buck BI....Nice! Hope there's not a typo there in that last cell!

Pretty obvious it is a typo.

No matter how you look at it the chances of pulling a game for a seat are 1 in 1666.667 even though it's a guarantee $12.5k package win.

These will break the poker economy for people who aren't careful if they never get any cash back.

The whole thing of just finishing in the top 2 seems great in theory especially if you are someone who gets to heads up over 70% in the regular Jackpot Poker SNGs but these won't play like that and will be nitfests.

No take backs on the typo! It's locked in now boys we get $30 back on a each $3 investment we make just as long as we don't get third.

a very unique idea to come up with in the little time available you must have figuring out these disconnection issues

Agreed. It's really frustrating watching WPN put all of its energy into creating these gimmicky rake pits while almost all of the improvements that players have told WPN are important have been ignored.

I will throw myself under the bus and contact 2+2 management in regards to their allowing this subforum to exist so they can profit from it, lock opker once again. its done message sent

I don't agree with several things WPN does but I'm sorry this post is completely ridiculous.

Everyone should want this sub forum to exist. We won't always hear what we want to but it still gives us a platform to speak our mind, make suggestions,etc....

I didn't know where the poster's 1 in 4000 came from...

I'm gonna need a take back on that one! Thanks for pointing it out.

I know you're friends with Jay D, tell him i told u to get my skype info if you wanna talk about things kid I'm all for it or pm me ill give it to you myself

+1000

I would add to that, this is at least the 2nd time now you've compared WPN (who pays out players as fast or faster than any US facing site) to Lock who stole the players money and didn't pay out... that makes you lose all credibility imo as it defies logic by just about as much as you can.

Something intriguing about the thought of trolls underneath busses! Is your thrower broken?

Indulging in adult beverages again?

I meant to add him on skype a few times but always forgot so I don't even have his info anymore.

I've had my share of frustrations and lost money in the disconnection problems this year but I still would never compare them to Lock Poker who continued taking in the money never paying anyone before finally closing up shop.

What WPN shouldn't do is make promises they can't keep in regards to time frames of additions they hope to add some day. The network said to people that the mobile/web based client, mac client, hand for hand,etc... were all coming and sometimes gave out date projections that were so far off when they should have said it's in the plans but it will take a long time.

what happens in a 3-way all-in when 2 people have the same number of chips? (i.e. 3 way all-in on first hand).

It won't be a all 3 going in for 500.sb would have 490 where bb has 480 so sb should win since he had more chips at start of hand.

They still start the hand with the same amount of chips. I think if you base it off the blinds being in for 10 and 20 that wouldn't be correct. It's not that their is an odd number of chips in the pot so you ship the extra by position.

Three way all in first hand should mean winner obv gets the seat and the other two are getting $15 back a piece.

I wonder if they will have that coded in the software because it could be a problem.

Regardless, lets say two guys are all in first hand and I'm last to act I think I can fold the AA like a satellite nit comfortably which puts me in a near guaranteed spot to get the buyin refund just as long as one of them loses and they don't have like AK vs AK, KK vs KK that holds on for the chop. This will be very rare though.

that's true, I wasn't even thinking of the fact that if 2 are all-in, 3rd guy should pretty much fold everything

Let's not lose this excellent and important question amongst all the less important scenarios and bad strat advice.


Also... not a fan of these.

not trying to be that guy, but this seems like a good way to bust the rec players bankrolls

I think that the rule is, in the equal stack scenerio, that the main aggressor shows first and then position is determined by first out going in a clockwise direction. Interesting.
