You are dealt a flush with four to the royal on 7/5 Bonus poker. How do you play the hand? Answer it according to how Singer would play it.
Show your knowledge Arc.
Oh sheesh......
Money.... you are asking a "trick" question, or showing ignorance. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt this time, because there is no clear and consistent answer to your question.
The AP's, or math guys are going for the RF. As Snidely pointed out, it's a mathmatically profitable play to try for the RF.
RS, AND the SPS will sometimes go for the RF, and sometimes take the flush.
The "SPS" for this particular scenario you created does not include ALL the neccesary information to "know" how RS would "play" the hand. So you can not possibly answer.
It depends on other factors... Specifically:
How close, or far from his win goal he happens to be at that moment.
Perhaps how close, or far, from his soft profit (that +40 credits plus buy in) thing of his.
What denomination he is playing.
AND other factors that no one, including RS, can state specifically, because his SPS is constantly changing according to the current circumstances/ conditions, and can not be defined into a system with specific rules for every possible scenario.
So telling Arci that you will give him the correct answer if he is incorrect is, well, I think it's ludicrous.
