I would not take it because I would like to think that my life is worth more than $8M. My life would have to be worth less than that to make it +EV on a 969:12 shot. If my life was not on the line, I'd take this bet with As 5s.

"How much gamble do you have in you?"

Not enough to take this stupid bet.

Well, I'm certainly not going to offer anyone this wager, but it is a serious question.

I would take it. I've taken bigger risks with my life for less gain before.

[ QUOTE ]
Flop is 234, rainbow.

Your opponent has K7, suited in spades. There is a spade on the flop.

You are allowed to pick any two hole cards you want.

Your opponent offers a wager of $100,000 that he will win this pot. If you lose, you die.

Do you accept?

[/ QUOTE ]

If there is no spade on the flop I would gladly take K7 of any other suit. Assuming of course that him winning half the pot doesnt count as winning the pot.
