Default Re: 8 Folds to the SB

Interesting. I'd had a completely different concept in mind, but still can't figure out if it applies...

It comes from a statistics exercise illustrated in the old game show Let's Make a Deal. There were three curtains each with a prize. One of the curtains had a jackpot prize. Monty (the host) would ask a contestant which curtain they would like to choose. After making a decision, Monty would then reveal what was behind one of the two remaining curtains. The item revealed would not be the jackpot prize, but rather one of the two lesser items. Then the question was asked of the contestant: Would you like to stay with the curtain you originally chose, or switch?

What should the contestant do?

If you know this problem, then you know the answer. Otherwise I won't give it away.

But does the same principal apply if 8 people fold to the SB? I can't quite get my head around it?
