So you\'re getting robbed...
Corollary to this thread
Now you're walking down the sidewalk in a big city. Decent sized street but not many people walking on it, and it's just gotten dark. Suddenly someone grabs your shoulder and turns you around, showing a knife that he's got in his hand which is in his pocket (so he doesnt alert the whole city that he's robbing you). He tells you quickly to hand over your money. Whaddaya do? Stipulations: No police/security around, you can't count on anyone helping you if you yell. You don't have any mace or a weapon and you don't know karate or anything. You're an average sized 20 year old male. The guy is a little bigger than you. Superman is on vacation.

Re: So you\'re getting robbed...
These threads are complicated. If I thought I could lay the smack down, I would. If not, I'd get robbed.

How else would he know the guy has a knife in his hand, if his hand is in his pocket? So, I'd flex my super pecs and break his jaw. Then I'd hand him over to the authorities and go look for some kittens to rescue out of trees or something. Swede

Re: So you\'re getting robbed...
you left out blowing a hole in him big enough to walk though out of the choices again. See my point about bringing a knife to a gunfight. we are allowed to carry concealed handguns in texas.

Re: So you\'re getting robbed...
[ QUOTE ]
why can't i be my actual size because i would rather that? [/ QUOTE ] Because I said so. Obviously if youre 6'10" and 250 pounds and have a 4th degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, you don't have a problem here. The point is if you really don't know if you can beat this guy's ass. If you clearly can or can't, the decision is easier. [ QUOTE ] Are you trying to work out the EV of robbing people leaving the casino or something? [/ QUOTE ] No, that's -.08 EV. I'm wondering if it's +EV for me to try to pull something if someone wants to rob me. Don't forget about gambler's ruin. [ QUOTE ] These threads are complicated. [/ QUOTE ] Didn't mean to make your head hurt. Just thought it was interesting to think about. Kind of like if I had to choose between a bazooka with 3 shells and a 9 millimeter with unlimited rounds in a fight to the death against a guy with the other weapon. I mean, I don't see that situation coming up, but if it does I'm better off knowing ahead of time what I'm gonna do and why. I'd take the 9 btw. Everett
