How much gamble do you have in you?

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?

The reverse implied odds here make a call -EV.

I like to be on the edge [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] My thought was that two spades would decrease his chance of hitting flush and 56 would decrease straight possibility. Never ran any simulations.

So, you'd do it?

MyMindIsGoing · #7 03-16-2005, 07:21 AM

I would with A5s.

$100,000 is NOT life changing. Not even close. But suffice to say, dying is a life changing event. Make it 20 million and I MIGHT wager my life with A5s.

It depends on how long you have to live left.

i was going to say take the bet, but after finding out that he has about a 4% chance of winning, id say no. i will accumulate that money soon enough anyway.
