Default Re: Game Theory Quiz

well done

if your opponent bets out on the flop, you can simply use the same strategy and bet the new pot 9/16 of the time, and then bet the second round 3/8 of the time while always betting the 5 as usual, and now your EV will be even greater than the minimal $12.5

bonus points if you can figure out the optimal strategy given that your opponent bets out amount X on the first rounds

anyway i thought it was very interesting that although you have the worst hand 75% of the time, the information you have on your opponent turns this into an +EV situation, i think this is a good example of the well known truth that you cannot be too predictable in big bet poker
