Well, you should probably take this with a grain of salt pending an answer from a non-newbie to this area. But it sounds to me like the proportions between bluff- and value-raises are correct GIVEN the pot odds you menion.

However, when A is making a raising decision in problem #4, B is still just getting 3:1 on the call, not 5:1. A bet $1 blind, then B put in a $1 limp, and now A has added one additional dollar with the raise. So, there is still just $3 in the pot, and it will cost B an additional $1 to show down.

Yes of course. I don't know what I was thinking. 3-1 either way isn't it. oh well. nevermind.

Did we ever get it settled on what's suppose to be the correct strategies?

Well, JA's lightbulb strategy still seems to be the best raising strategy for B, and he obviously knows what he's doing in this game.

But I'm waiting to hear what's wrong with my (as far as I can tell) improvement in the post "stab at #4."

On that one, I basically just took as axiomatic that B was never going to raise and would limp on [1/2,1]. On what I come up with as A's best raising strategy (and B's best limp-call strategy), it seems to me that B does better than in JA's game. So, I'm just waiting to hear why I'm wrong...
