    There are two players who pick numbers from 1-100 without replacement . Each player posts a $1 ante but player one must always check even though he's first to act . Player two has the option of betting the pot or checking behind . Given this knowledge , what strategy must player two employ to maximize his EV ?

    We may make the assumption that player one and two are playing optimally aside from the stipulation placed on player one .

    p.s. there is no raising in this game and player one can check-call or check-fold .

    The player who shows the highest number wins .

    bet pot?

    but that seems too simple.

    why can't he just mix up his play?

    like just conceed when he picks 1-20 and check behind and bet pot on rest.
