Re: A Poker Problem (Heads Up)

I might be the only person here that the problem is well formulated,
assuming linear utility (so the objective is maximization of expected
profit). I don't know what the correct answer is, though.

Let's analyze an easier problem:
You and another player ante a dollar and both have unlimited money in
front of you. You are both dealt one card from a deck where the cards
are numbered from one to a five. You are dealt 4. You bet and get
raised. How many times should you reraise, a dollar at a time before
you just call against an expert? What about in Pot Limit?

Do people still think that this problem doesn't make sense?
