Not tough luck but we are both competing for the same prize so I will play
my hardest to get that prize. Recently , a couple of card rooms closed in
the midwest and the casinos decided to give away the sizable bad beat jackpots
in an hourly drawing. It worked out to about $40 an hour in prize EV. This
was certainly a big enough bonus to attract professional gamblers. Should I
avoid this play because I'm not a pro? Should I not let my friends know
about it because a pro might not get a seat?
If you are talking about the poker room closing at Players (now Harrahs) in
St. Louis the Casino was forced to reopen the poker room by the Missouri Gaming
Commission and give away the Bad Beat money as you described.
