Abstract

A two-person poker game is analyzed and a solution is obtained. The essential difference between this game and those treated in the past is the fact that this one allows arbitrarily high bets. It turns out, curiously enough, that the number 7 is present in an essential way in both plavers' solutions, and furthermore, the value of the game turns out to be 1/7 of the ante. I leave to the numerologists the explanation of this mystical appearance.
