If he bet the $500 in the open, you should definitely take the offered high (assuming there’s a decent difference in the prize money for 1st and 2nd). Instead, you correctly note that your larger bet opened the door for you possibly finishing in 3rd or 4th place.īR1’s bet is terrible.
You don’t have 2nd locked up unless you bet less than $500 (assuming bj pays 3:2).
