How much gamble do you have in you? - Page 5

Let's see I make 120k per year (not playing poker), x 35 years left = 42million. 100k is way too small. Maybe 100million factoring in quality of life, sex, etc. If I was poor I might consider shooting him and stealing the 100k - has much better EV.

what about a 1-foot putt for the same deal? You control the outcome but are you 96%?

You shouldn't be playing this game without at least 20 lives. So maybe Shirley Maclaine could play, but not the rest of us.

Also, people who choose 5s6s and want to take the wager make me laugh. If your risking your life at least do a little research.

lol. i havent twodimesed this one personally. i only assumed that 56s was the best option because it seemed that previous posters researched it themselves, so i tagged along. thats the last time ill ever leave my life in another poker players hands. sheesh.

It is probably cool to think that you are going to earn 42 million in you life, but you might want to redo the math on this one. It will probably impact your budget.

Kind of how flopping 222 makes it +EV to have called all-in with 23o preflop.
