[edit] Example

I reinserted the example... although there is no background to work from, assuming both players are competent I disagree that checking here to induce a bluff is a valid option. An all in bet offers the opponent 5-1 odds; there's not enough money for a credible bluff. (Note Harrington on Hold'em Vol III's Negative Freeroll example, Harman vs. Zeidman, uses exactly the same pot/stack ratio's.) If there were more money remaining, I agree that checking to induce a bluff might be a defensible play.

Also it has been my experience that many individuals need an example to fully comprehend negative freeroll. It's not an intuitive concept for many players. I fully agree that the example could use some work, however I also feel it serves a useful purpose and shouldn't be excised without some sort of replacement. Macboots 01:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
