Re: Maximizing cEV in check behind vs betting scenario.
[ QUOTE ]
You should bet if 500y + 200x > 200 (x,y decimals)
Note that x being larger makes it better to bet. This may seem slightly weird but it comes from having a fixed y% of his whole range that is best & folds. That's what you're gaining irregardless of x & you're risking slightly less if x is larger.

Yea, I realize all this. I was just trying to figure out a way to determine if their are distinct values for x and y that yield the larges gains in cEV by betting rather then checking behind.
But, I realize this is a linear function, and the maximum is only constrained by how we define x and y. Obviously, the best scenario is when x and y are a maximum. However, the only relationship we can really say about x and y is that x+y<=1.
