Re: Your ENTIRE bankroll on AA...do you do it?

How about this for a real risk of ruin, not a hypothetical one where you might be able to get staked, etc: You have AsAc on a board of AhAd10d Your opponent holds Jd2h, and his cards have been exposed. He moves all in for 250 million dollars, but you don't have it. You can call him, but the guaranty that you must put up is your life. If you win the hand, you win 250 million dollars. If you lose, you die. Do you call the bet?

Anyone who doesn't call this bet should stop playing the game of life right now [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
And I am only half kidding -- I'd sacrifice 2 weeks of life expectancy for much less than $250 million. Research shows that average Americans routinely take ~$1000 in exchange for a week of life, so $250 mil is way above the fair price.
