Hypothetical Head Up Tournament Brain Teaser
 
You are playing a billion dollar head up No Limit Holdem head up freezeout against a weird fellow who has legally promised that he will move in every hand while turning his cards face up. The game is honest and he is legally bound to his promise. The blinds are one dollar and two dollars. You are a multi billionaire who is not worried about the money. There will be no rematch.

You fold the first three hands, all worse than his, and on the fourth hand he turns over a seven and a deuce and puts in his billion plus four bucks.

Here are four possible hands for you.

I. Two aces

II. Two sixes.

III. AK offsuit

IV. 94 offsuit

Please answer the following question choosing one of the choices below WITH NO EXPLANATION. If you choose, you may add how certain you are that your answer is best.

Which of the hands should you call with?



A. All hands

B. No hands

C. I only

D. I and II only

E. I and III only

F. I II and III only

Just post a letter and possibly your degree of certainty

C. Aces only, about 90% sure. 10% leaning towards no hands.

EDIT: thinking about it a bit longer, I'm starting to lean more towards no hands.

Assuming I have no comparable way to earn a billion dollars, my answer is B (none of these hands) with 100% certainty.
