Default A two-part question

Part 1:
Q.At one point do the jackpot tables become +EV on the 1-in-a-million(?) chance YOU might win?
A. Beats me. I'd say probably never, because the odds of quad 8s or better being beaten are just so damn slim. Though obviously, it does happen if you have 20+ plus tables running non-stop 24/7.

Part 2:
Q. What point do the jackpot tables become +EV because of how wild they are?
A. For me, I think it is anytime it gets within spitting distance of 250k. At that point I notice the tables get more crowded, and people start playing a little less sensibly.

Interesting hand from the Bad Beat tables last night (early morning )
5/10 table

Some guy named Oneida366 or something like that joins the table and immediately starts bragging about how great he was for winning the bad beat jackpot last time. (His name was actually on the scrolling list too, he was one of the players seated at the table and won approx7-8 grand)
He had raised every time it was his turn and I didn't see an end to this strategy of his.

I held j-q in the sb and called the extra bet and a half with 6 callers and this Oneida guy.
Dream flop. 8-9-10 rainbow.
I bet first, 2 or 3 callers he raises I re-raise. (He was immediately to my right.)
everyone folds to him betting capped.
Turn 2 of the 4rth suit. (no flush possibility)
Betting capped.
River 6 (betting capped.)

I wished him luck in winning another jackpot as I could use his money.

I like him.
