Is it worth it to play it at the $100. When these tables came out I was with the crowd that left Party or played <$100 and when I've taken my shots I've played regular tables. I figure for me it would take out 2.5bb/100 but that doesn't account for the pots I take preflop either so it's probably more like 1.5 or less. So are the tables that much better that I should sacrifice that little bit of money? I am talking full ring btw. TIA.

Are these tables looser than the non-monster tables? Is anyone participating in the promotion. Additionally isn't the rake 0.50 no matter if you're at 25 limit of 1000NL? If that's the case, participating would seem to benefit a player like me whose contribution per hand at 200NL is a much lower percentage than those at the lowest limits.

The play at these tables is much looser than at the non monster tables at Party. The non monster tables are filled with people who don't want to pay the extra rake, therefore they are more interested in making money, plus they are trickier to find for the average player. I think that most fish do not seek out these tables either because THEY might win the jackpot. The monster tables also only start at $100nl.

I ended up playing these last night and they were much better than the regular tables. It was not unusual to be at a table that had a 30%VPIP. Had my best night at the $100 ever making $481 over 2400 hands. But then again maybe it's only cuz it was Friday.
