Some think that you have to stay with a progressive until it hits but I
don't agree with that unless the edge is high (which means it's a rare bear).
Also you can look at chasing progressives as playing one long session
broken into parts. Since I'm an out-of-towner I rarely find something that is
high so I'll start on something moderately good & sometimes ride it into the
sweet spot where the locals come to gather honey. But most of the time I'm
gone since I often have commitments. Other considerations are the
opportunity cost of what else you have and the toll it takes on you physically as
you play long hrs. As I get older, I'm becoming more health- & volatility-
conscious so I think of chasing things with lower edges as good for health
(shorter sessions, less competition from the hardcore who often have bad
habits) & bankroll (high progressives force a lot of sacrifice adjustments
which come more often with every unit change). So if you can't stand the heat,
stay with the lower progressives where you can often get to play it by
yourself at a leisurely pace with a smaller bankroll..

2. If you sit down and play at exactly 100%, the meter will progress from
there. Which means on a progressive, break-even is a WIN--equal to the
amount of meter-rise on the Jackpot you are playing for. (This is also an
oversimplification and assumes that once you sit down you will play until the JP
hits).
