Default Re: When would you fold AA\'s

I am giving you a little more credit and I wasn't doubting you at all .

This is why I was willing to ask you because I think you'
re probably one of the more knowledgeable posters regarding the Kelly criterion and such . I was also willing to take the time to learn something new that I wasn't aware of .

In any case , even though we butt heads in the past , I have a huge amount of respect for what you've contributed here .

That didn't stop you from contradicting me in two posts here instead of checking which of us was right with a simple expected utility calculation.

If so, you have had an obnoxious way to express that respect, such as by declaring, "Clearly my intuition was better than yours... I lost all respect for you... I think of you as a poor man's version of BruceZ," by going out of your way to nitpick on statements of mine (that were correct), failing to acknowledge real corrections I have made to your posts, etc. You have made me sorely regret the many times I have helped you. I still have no idea what your problem is.

The problem with the millionaire analogy is millionaire is not the same as walking up to an average person on the street & asking them if they'd risk 32K of their own money. It's walking upto a [b] "random" person who has just won 64K [b] & as such they are quite "correctly" more willingy to gamble 32K.
To answer this question, probably $128K

I don't know how far I would go but I'll answer in different way. If I saved up $1000 (I'm poor) and sat down at a NL game, through my brilliant play (I dream a lot) I worked up to $10,000 and I was put all in with Aces, I would fold.

If I have to put up 1K of my own money, I'm never agreeing to this. If you're staking me...
