I am interested in the following simplified version of poker. Each player gets a card (for example, either A or B). Then they bet knowing their own cards (for example, the pot initially has 1 euro, then they go in order and decide to fold or add $\alpha$10 euros to the pot, then after the last player the betting is over). After the betting, either those distribute the money who have A or those who have B (for example, with 60% chance A wins and with 40% chance B wins). What are the optimal strategies if the players want to maximize their expected income?
Note that I am most interested if the game has at least 3 players and it is crucial that the outcome can depend on the flop, unlike most theoretically studied versions, like Kuhn poker or when the inputs are from the [0,1] interval. Has this ever been studied?
I wonder if paradoxical situations can happen, like the last player should bet with a higher chanceprobability when his card is B than with A (given in the above examplewhen A has a higher chance of winning).
