This is because it is rare to get a hand which is a large favorite over a random hand. People are usually surprised at how little of a mistake it is to push for say, 50 times the blinds every hand. | |

The protagonist goes all in against the champion player without looking at his cards. Of course, the author makes it work out, but if you are taking mind reading into account, I think this strategy says the answer is no.

| May 12, 2017 at 8:39 | comment | added | martin cripps | Ken Binmore's book Fun and Games has a really nice chapter (12) on poker games where he deals with Borel's, von Neumann's and Nash's versions of poker. This might be a good place to start looking. | |
| May 12, 2017 at 7:55 | comment | added | domotorp | @Thomas As I wrote, I agree that if cards are revealed in later stages, then the answer can be yes, but I don't see why you ever should re-raise in such a game either. | |
| May 12, 2017 at 7:22 | comment | added | Thomas Rot | I'm no game theorist, but since there is ante you should raise whenever you have pot equity. Imagine you have aces before the flop. If you don't raise you give darth vader a freeroll to see the flop. You are giving up a part of the ante if you don't. But it is better not to play;) | |
