    The people who play this game are the biggest nits ive ever seen.. The Chip Leader has like 19K your second with 6200.. So what do you do.. YOu fucking bet 5K.. WTF.. Why bother betting anything. Bet it all Jesus.. And then this really aggravates me.. Say the leader has 20K 2nd place has 14K and third place has 9K.. What does the leader bet on Final Jeopardy. Fuckin 8001.. You toolshed if you dont get the question right your not going to win anyway.. Bet it all.. You just threw away 12K in real money..

    Sigh.

    I believe your game theory is wrong here in the second situation. He is betting 8001 to guarantee that he wins with a correct answer all the while ensuring himself a strong score if the others (mainly second place also get the question wrong and dont bet the house). Really you over simplify their decisions and your rationality is barely defendible, so maybe think a little harder.

    I could talk three levels around you in betting choices on Jeopardy...its a fairly basic game theory type problem...not saying they all do it properly, but it is more complicated then "LOL, GET ME THE MOST CHIPS BEFORE THE FINAL TABLE"

    I am guessing the chance to come back the next day is more +EV then an extra $4000 of betting now.

    Im just wondering if there is a correlation between his sense of logic and

It is the average of each (Payout-(Stake+Rake))/(Stake+Rake).

    LOL at those being my Sharkscope numbers.. You have no clue who I am noob. My poker accomplishments may suck but they far dwarf anything you have shown on your profile sir. And since this might be your first OT post maybe you should learn that people here dont give a shit about poker stats. Everyone is the same from Wretchy and Waco down to WAR..

    stackcheese come on down, you're the next contestant on The Price is Right! :-)

    the category prob comes into play also. but giving yourself the chance to move on to next day def is an important strategy, i would think...

    i think if i played tho and i was pretty good, i would try to choose the more $ questions first then the small ones, and finally the middle ones bc then you would have more $ when u may get chance at a daily double.

    Good job on averaging 15 posts a day. But yah check to see how long Ive been here before you post. Just because I only post when I see something either ridiculously entertaining or amazingly flawed in logic doesnt make me a noob. And all I was pointing out was that your retarded post and your ability to beat $1 sngs may not be coincidences. Thats all.
