Any limit is fine.
They are all nuts....

Make sure you are prepared to get sucked out on though.

Ya, I must admit I was one of the few people that tried to chase down a SF. Mine was justified though....had 78d and it flopped 56dQ, the turn was a Q....and I was hoping this other player had QQ. I ended up losing the hand to the guy holidng 56. Can't blame me, had so many outs and a chance for a jackpot.

This is exactly the type of thinking that makes this game so profitable....
Play a solid game as if the jackpot is not there.
If you are just sitting at the table you get a cut.
Don't chase looking for the big-one.... Chances are very good, you won't get it.

Exactly... the additional 50 cents in rake adds up (that's 5 cents per hand), but I think the softness of the games makes up for it...

With that said, I'll chase an open ended straight flush (for one more bet) against a paired board any day.

And I'll be there to collect when you miss.

And hey, if you do hit, Good for you.
I'll take my paltry couple of grand for just sitting at the table

I had 15 outs after the flop - that's a better a 50% chance of winning the hand. Then after the turn (even though I didn't know it) I ended up with even more outs. 9 for flush, 6 for straight, and and now 6 more either a 7 or 8 for a higher two pair. So I don't think you can fault my play. Even if he had an Queen, it was highly unlikely he would have a full house with that board.

I agree with your play, but don't say you were chasing the straight flush (2 outs) thinking he had quads and then say you had 15+ outs and didn't think he had a full boat. One of the other, buddy

I know, I know - you said "hoping."

I agree these games can be worth it, but it absolutely vital to understand that you aren't going to win the jackpot. Quad 8s or better are going to get beat so ridiculously infrequently that Party can give away about 50k every time it happens. That extra 50 cents adds up if you are a regular at the tables, and you have to take your profit from those whp are chasing the crazy odds that it might.
