Re: Bill Chen Type Pure Math/Poker Problem
Pooch,
When discussing position, how would it work? A key thing here is that if everyone folds then everyone gets their ante back. In the sequential game, would the last player get the antes, or would they have the option to bet, and if they do then the earlier players could call (in other words early players may check, they don't have to fold)?
Solving such a game for 3 or more players is a fairly tedious exercise because the strategy space is already pretty large - player 1 would have 4 possible decision points, 2 would hae 3 possible, 3 would have 4 possible.
However, in the 2 player case if player 1 checks, then 2 bets a larger number of hands than 1 would bet - both more bluffing hands and more value betting hands.
