Default Re: How About This Game Theory Problem

It doesn't there, but I have read elsewhere that "Game Theory" seeks winning strategies against optimal play by opponents. Obviously I do not want to upset anyone, and so discretion is the better part of valour etc. But practical effect on play, is interesting to me.

According to my approximate calcs, with 8 opponents there'll be a '72' killer hand, around 10% of time, which benefits from invisibily inflated pot (to tune of $1,600).
Rather than focus on well covered details, I was chucking an idea out, and see if anyone could make anything of it, from a different angle.

As mentioned, a Ueber-Dominating pair of 7's is not going to gain much value in practical terms, as a set is very unlikely when you most need to win, so 72o will be a superior hand, under non-Push conditions. Obviously, folding a pair 7's will be easier than 8's as you will face 72o far less often! :lol:
