Mythical river scenario

[SomethingClever]

If this is blindingly, screamingly obvious to you, don't say anything yet. I want to see what range of responses I'll get.

Live 5/10 game.

You hold 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the BB. Three people limp, you check, and the flop comes

A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>

Checked around, and the turn is

K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>

Checked around, and the river is

3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>

But before betting begins on the river, Bill Gates drops 10 billion dollars into the pot by accident, and it's ruled in play.

What's your river action? And why?

I'm not sure if I should be replying or not, given the conditions...but here goes.


I would check. Hopefully everyone has sense enough to know that no one is going to fold, so we can just see who has the best hand.

I wouldn't bet because I can't imagine anyone would fold, and see above.

However, obviously I would call all bets/raises, as I have
effectively infinite pot odds.

Check-fold, unless your opponents are retarded enough to fold. You can't win a showdown against more than 1 opponent.

[submariner]

Is it too late to edit my answer? D'oh!!! I still wouldn't fold, though.

[fnord_too]

Assuming getting a no showdown split isn't an option....

I be the maximum (not sure if this is limit or nl). If there is 1 chance in a BILLION (if this is limit) of folding the table betting here is +EV.

[Scavengerfolk]

Bet, check-raise, and raise again if there is another raiser. Win the pot if you can by representing a larger hand.

[SomethingClever]

You can chop if you're only facing 2 opponents and they hold 22 and 32.

But against 3, there is mathematically no way you can win or tie at showdown.

But I believe bluffing getting 2 billion to 1 would be worth it.

Hey, they might fold!

[umdpoker]

if this is a special olympics game, then bet as much as possible. otherwise, you can't win this pot. just give it up.

Everyone could have 3-2. No way I'm folding even if it is for a snowballs chance in hell at 2.5 billion.

Never mind (that damn 3 on the riv).
