Default Re: Chris Ferguson (Game theory problem)

It's actually a much simpler problem than it first appears. The answer is:you can call with any hand.
The reason?
Because after the flop, if you bet out at it, the guy with the Aces has to fold. He has no idea if you are bluffing or have the goods, whereas you have complete information. It's hard to play poker against someone who knows what cards you hold.

It's not that simple. You have to use that the stacks are both $50,000, while the pot is only $10 (if BB calls).

The complete information is more valuable than the preflop nuts only because the stacks are deep enough.
