Re: Is this better ?!?
OK it's all coming together now, thanks. Having to break it up at 0.586 seemed rather forced and somehow I wanted to think the answer was a single function all the way through. But going over various cases makes me realize you guys are right. With hands of .57 or .58 and with A standing (and playing optimally), B is in deep enough kaka to have to take a shot.
As for the EV calculation, it was quite a mess and I'd be curious if anyone can do it without the help of a computer. Integrating fractions like (b^2)/sqrt(2b-1) is not something for which I know any techniques.
