Not this time round :f_frown:

How cheap of PS to start it at 25k!

It was always $25k, but the last couple of times it was indeed $50k or even $100k. Maybe they go back to normal. I can't check it now, because there is most likely a server restart.

That's quite depressing to be honest... well guess we will sit tight for a while and hopefully WCOOP will help bring it up to decent levels soon...

Than everything is back to normal. That's to bad, but change to get a change to win the jackpot is still slim.

Well it might be "back to normal" but it might be broken again -- when they took it down for a while, and "fixed" it, it came back with the better prizes.

That would be nice, but time will tell.

I couldn't access PokerStars for most of yesterday, so I've no idea if any spin attempts were made.
Edit
Just after I posted that, we had a spinat 18:15 UTC for $52,408.46 and the winner gets $1,000

Jackpot has picked up a bit since WCOOP started but still slowish. I started playing now that it has reached 70k - have a lot of coins anyway

It took a bit of a jump yesterday.
I've got quite a few coins, but still won't play until it hits 100K (I'm stubborn :coolface: )

The share of the jackpot should be decent when there are only a few playing, so hopefully you'll cash big.

I have a feeling that this time it wont burst before reaching around 150k. I still play because I am bored and afraid to miss out and because I know the next full house is round the corner :f_biggrin:

This is a wonderful example of the psychology of gambling...
:diamond:  "I have a feeling" -- especially in horse racing "hunches" play a large role in picking horses. My wife would not pick a horse until they were walking down to the gate. My friend had all the form charts, past history stats and all that and he would pick 'em from that. Mrs Vorpal based her decision on how the horse behaved -- if it was frisky and active she would bet on that one. I went with her. Her picks were most often correct. Well let's say "more often".
:diamond:  "...afraid to miss out..." and "...just around the corner..." In Reno I once sat at a lunch counter, and watched an elderly lady playing 3 slot machines. She pumped quarters into 3 machines in a rhythm. Coin in, coin in, coin in -- pull handle, pull handle, pull handle. When she won a small payoff, she paused long enough to put the coins into her supply, and went back at it. If she had to leave to get more quarters, go to the toilet or whatever, she put a cup over the handle. I asked her why. She said, "Well everyone know that its in use"
I said, "But why not just go back to different machines?"
She said, "Well what if I do and the next person hits the jackpot on their first pull?"

Cheers,
VS

Good grief man!
You should bottle that luck and sell it on Amazon.

Well done!

So the rate of increase since last jackpot is about 25K per week (it is 101K this morning)
So two weeks before I play...

Hmmm... it may slow down in a week time when WCOOP is over... but I think it will burst before that :P

Another spin today at 10:36 UTC -- no jackpot.
Unless they changed the prize distribution again, the spinner got $1,000
