Default Re: Envelopes! (Problem #2)

whilst you have done a huge amount of work and your answer makes extremely interesting reading i think that your opponent's tactics might work only for the "first" game

i assume there are an infinite number of envelopes being proffered and although i may be wrong it seems to me that after the first few thousand or so with such a set strategy your opponent may not have to think too much to improve his chances of winning as he will know what you are going to
do in any given situation, and therefore will he not just do the "opposite" for a time?
