Trying to come up with a Sklansky-type of question...

[Shandrax]

Imagine you are playing in a 25k tournament at the Bellagio. Your EV is 50k. Right after you get dealt the first hand a faery appears and grants you three wishes. The downside is that if accept the offer, you will not have x-ray-vision for the entire tournament, which means that this time you won't see your opponents hole cards.

A. What would your wishes be?
B. What's your EV if you accept the offer?
C. Is the faery cheating?

A.

1. Sklansky's intelligence

2. x-ray vision for the entire tournament except for the first hand

A. 1. That people tell me exactly what they have without knowing they tell me, and without anyone else knowing that they said it for as long as I play poker.
2. Sex with Scarlett Johannsen whenever I wanted.
3. I'd save this for later. Currently I'm making as much dough as I want, and banging Scarlett Johannsen, so I'm pretty content.

B. Infinity I suppose since from this point on, wherever I play, people will tell me their hole cards without them, or anyone else ever knowing.

C. I'm not up on the rules of being a fairy. Maybe they have some type of handbook, or maybe you could just ask Richard Simmons, I don't know.
