Going to be on a game show w/some poker elements. Ideas for strategy?? - Page 2 - Other Topics Forum - Discuss Pop Culture, Arts and Entertainment

Heh I've seen this show. Good luck.

If you have been any sort of leader or correct answerer during game play, I think highest EV (but highest variance) would be to claim 60%, tell them they can have nothing if they disagree, and step away from the podium.

Obv vote out the most "alpha" player other than yourself.

Good luck on the show OP!

Are you going to let us know when the show airs so we can see the results?

I'll try to remember. The show is called Divided for anyone still wondering. I shot it today. It was a pretty crazy experience, but I can't talk about it yet. We'll see about how after it airs if I can share more, which I'd love to, I'm not not sure what I'll be at liberty to say.

DD,

LOL, just watched an episode of this show, it looks really stupid.

My advice would have been to hit A and then say "I'm done, you guys decide or it's zero for us all."

This sounds like a terrible format, and I'd be really surprised all the times people walk away with money

This. Was interesting to watch a final round for the first time, but subsequent viewings of other episodes are unwatchable. Show is cringe-worthy.

One guy kept insisting "I don't even need the money" as justification for not taking option C.

That said, hope you had fun OP. Would be happy to read a TR (your side) after the episode airs and you're free from any quasi-NDA stuff.

I'm kinda divided on my opinion about the show.

Is it:

a) complete and utter crap
b) absolutely cringe worthy
c) a huge piece of ****

Last edited by ninetynine99; 05-17-2017 at 12:52 AM. Reason: uh oh... running out of time to lock in my answer: d) all of the above

I think I saw this episode. I'm not sure it was OP, but he said he was a former poker pro.

The last question was order continents by area. Africa, Asia and South America. Both the other players insisted that Africa was the largest continent. OP seemed hesitant, but went along with the group.

OP took C for 10% of the prize pool.

That may be why he didn't race back here to update. Probably the smart play though, depending on teammates etc.

I'd rather give up the 3k and live my life knowing I wasn't a beta cuck than immediately pick 10%

what did the 10% end up being? 3K once you get taxes taken out and the hassle, ida walked away with nothing as well, which is i guess why most of the time no one wins anything.

lol at going with Africa. Shoulda alpha'd right there and then told them they could fight over 30 and 10 because they are dumb.

In reality tho I don't hold what anyone does on TV against them cuz those lights make your brain stop working. Unless its a final jeopardy wager, because that **** is so easy most of the time that ****ing it up is inexcusable, especially considering you are supposed to be smart.

Doesn't occur to lots of dumb people that Siberia, the middle east and all the -stans are part of Asia. They think it's just where "Chinese-looking" people come from--maybe the really smart dumb people realize Indian subcontinent is also part of Asia.

That's one overly prejudiced way to look at it. Another answer might be they just didn't pay attention in school.
