I don't get it

Toonces,

referring to your 9/26/06 post, you wrote:

Alternative 1a:
Player 4 goes all in. Player 3 bets small.
This is a very bad decision for Player 3​

Alternative 2b:
Player 4 bets all but $500. Player 3 bets small.
This scenario has potential for Player 3.​

I just don't see the difference or "potential for Player 3" by Player 4 holding back $500. As I see it, in either case, everything is up to Player 4:

Player 4 wins - then LB1 is now Player 3
Player 4 surrenders - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 pushes - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 loses - then LB1 is Player 4​

Player 3's play doesn't make any difference, everything is up to Player 4 in either alternative. It just doesn't matter what Player 3 does under the scenario you laid out. The $500 doesn't seem to make any difference. I'm with Reachy on this, confused - please clarify

Player 4 wins - then LB1 is now Player 3
Player 4 surrenders - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 pushes - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 loses - then LB1 is Player 4

Now, here's that same chart for scenario 1a:
Player 4 wins - then LB1 is now Player 3
Player 4 surrenders - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 pushes - then LB1 is Player 4
Player 4 loses - then LB1 is Player 3 (because player 4 busted).

If you are player 3, you prefer the 1st set of alternatives.
