In Response To: Correct Nactation (Carlo Melzi)

Your corrected Nactation is correct. :) 43Z-44K can also be 43Z-44C.

If by "correctly played" leobueno means perfectly played, then 43Z-44C-F-C doesn't make the cut, and 64S-55A-F-C might not make the cut. The other three, 52S-55A-F-C, 62S-55A-F-C and 63S-55A-F-C are legitimate.

Here is an interesting puzzle: From the opening position, after two legally completed plays (one for each player) in a money game, what position yields the highest equity for the player on roll, and should the other player take or a pass? I'll post my answer in a day or two.
