Re: Player Discussion

Let me try one more time. There is no question the jacks are the better hand. But at the point in time the question is asked, the jacks want the ace-queen suited to fold because the expectation for the ace-queen suited is positive from this point on out which means the jacks lose money from that point on. I have made this clear in my other posts.
The expectation equation needs to be started from the point in time that the question was asked. If you choose to start the expectation equation from the beginning of the problem then it will show that the jacks are the profitable hand and the ace-queen suited is not.
In othe words, someone else would gladly take over Player A's position (he holds the ace-queen suited) from that point on if he didn't have to put in the original $40, and that was the point of my answer.
As for the jacks, they have made in this hand more money than what the ace-queen suited will make from this point on because they have already made this money. Remember if the ace-queen suited folds as they should, and no one else plays, the jacks gets the $55 already in the pot.
I don't see how it can be more clear than this.

Prefering that your opponent fold is not the same thing as wishing you were them if they call!
