Default Re: Having a problem figuring out values of actions on a hand.

Other than my initial posting error, you are initially saying exactly what I said as a value, but this is more a game theory question in the fact that if you win 85% of the time, shouldn't there be a breaking point where either betting more than a certain % gives you no extra gain or little gain, and possibly even a loss?

Sorry Daliman...didn't mean to nitpick I just thought it was actually a mistake.

As far as the game theory question, the only way you shouldn't bet if you're ahead 85% of the time is if he won't always call. So with the assumptions listed any time you bet you make the $11 on average and any time you check you make $0. If you say the opponent only calls with the top xx% of his hands but folds or check/raises the rest then there will be an xx% where it becomes correct for you to just check. I guess what I'm saying is it depends on your opponent and we need to make some more assumptions to get into anything like you're asking right?
