Lets say there are only 3 players remaining in the game on the final hand and the payout structure is 70% of the pot for the winner and 30% for the runner up.
Firstly, betting stage: first to bet is BR1 2625, then BR2 2101, and then BR3 1000. For the ease of it lets say there is no surrender. bet min/max 100/1000.
BR1 bet 500. - Should BR2 lock in his lead with a bet of 100 or should he bet at least 763 in order to take first place with a double down or with a blackjack ?
OK, lets say BR2 did a bet of 763 (I think this is actually much better than 100 on per total winning value - I think this would be better even if blackjacks would pay only 1 to 1) and the table look as follows: BR1 stand on 20, BR has hard 20 (but if soft ? - I think is double) BR3 20. Should BR2 split ? (I think yes)
PS: What I want to do with this thread would be to later come up with different last hand scenarios where we will have to analyze various situations when we have a lock (or near lock) for lower paid places but if we keep the lock we can`t go for the top places for both betting stage and playing decision.
But the following scenarios will have betting limits 100/1000 surrender rule allowed, double after split, no double for less, no insurance for less, resplit allowed up to 3 times, and the following payout percentages: 1st place 42%, 2nd place 25%, 3rd place 15%, 4th place 10%, 5th place 8%. (mostly intersted in bets)
