I would simply solve my problem by going all in and betting the $10,000.00 that I have left. I would be a winner should the next card be an eight (8) because a straight which is five (5) cards in a row (in this case 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) beats a 3 of a kind (my opponent’s three 10’s). Another reason I would not fold is because if the next card that comes up is a diamond I would also be a winner. I would then have a flush (which is five cards of the same suit), which would also beat my opponents three (3) of a kind. My opponent could perhaps beat my flush if the ten (10) of diamonds was not down yet because even if the ten (10) would give me a flush (with the diamonds) my opponents four (4) of a kind (should he get his four tens) would still beat it. However, since the ten (10) of diamonds is already down then any diamond card will give me a winning hand. My opponent would win if any other card is drawn simply because he already has a three (3) of a kind. Since only thirteen of the remaining forty-four cards in the deck could possibly be winners for me, eight (8) that would give me a straight (four 8's and four 5's) and nine (9) that would give me a flush. Only two (2) of them were already counted, and two (2) of them would give my opponent a full house (the four of diamond and the nine of diamond). With that said, if I were playing with my own money I would take my $10,000.00 and go home. Since this is only hypothetical, I would take a chance on the
