I didn't follow the original thread too closely, but I thought of a mental exercise this morning for all of you guys who said "yes" and that it wasnt even close.

You hold KK. Villain holds AA, same suits. Are you willing to stake your whole bankroll preflop, assuming Bill Gates is willing to lay you 6:1 odds?

If your answer is no, explain why. What odds would be required for you to take this bet. Explain why.

Derek, make the gamble easier (assuming this is a straightforward risk aversion question). You think of a number between 1 and x. Gates guesses. If you win, you double your bankroll. If you lose, you wait for July's rakeback and start over. How big does x have to be?
