Anyway for $1 I am calling 100%
Even if I lose $1B my adaptive programming will easily learn enough from our opponents hole cards for this to be +++Ev
:-)

Also I don't think the double premised mythical situation you proposed can be ran on any computer to provide a consecutive random river situation as you poorly define.

Further if your own answer is going to the GTO expert answer to this question, we may as well move this thread to advanced statistics.

Also cant see how we can bet pot (and leave $1.00 behind) "presumably for value" but only call with a hand now demoted to "unbeatable bluffcatcher"?
Which really means our decision to bet pot in the first place is as a bluff.?????

Also how does the pot get to $15 K when he only has $1 to raise with.????
Are you getting enough sleep?

No adaptive programming allowed on your part. Only your opponent may adapt.

It can be done with ease. There are random number generators, and computers are easily fast enough for it to be doable.

By the way, you mention something is poorly defined. What (in particular ) is poorly defined?

It will be my answer, and I am not a GTO expert. But I do know the GTO answer to this. It applies very much to NL Hold'em, specifically to a spot where many instinctively go wrong.

If he has $5001 before the river, he will have exactly $1 to raise with when facing a $5000 bet. The pot goes to $15 001, not $15 000.

It is a hypothetical situation that will teach you a lot. The situation occurs IRL, but with less extreme numbers and less well defined "value" and "bluff catch".

In fact, in FL Holde'm it is an extremely common situation to face a raise OTR in a big pot and it costs 1BB to call. The vast majority of players don't understand it, and of those that try to understand it, some just refuse to believe the correct answer.

PM me the answer, maybe it will help me understand the scenario better

BTW I often used to bet an amount that would leave the opponent with $1 behind, gave me some sort of perverse pleasure .

So a call for $1 only has to be correct 1:15,000 times right?

Also why am I amused when my pot size stab is reraised

The pot odds are 15001:1. (Sorry for my cryptic answer, but it is enough to answer your question I think. I don't want to give too many clues atm.)

Pretend it is PLHE.

Hypothetical extreme situations are those that best illustrate difficult concepts. The entirely isolate the crux of the matter. Please focus less on how realistic this precise scenario is. (It can, as I assured, easily be set up on a computer.)

Fried request in place.

You are not amused by the raise, but by its size.

The problem with ( using the analytical visualising solving this scenario with bots), is that not all bots will be putting themselves in the situation where they have pot bluffed the river 100% of time in the first place !!!!

You could consider running about 100000 more trials, and then only selecting the few hands played that might meet this criteria.

Good point (but is nowhere said anyone bluffs 100%.). I'll edit the OP so that normal hands play out as well. These can be totally ignored because you only get to set precisely the parameter I have already defined. (In normal play, the competing programs are exactly equal.)

fold 100%, cause he's never going to bluff to that size. i know it's a tough laydown, but sometimes you just have to know when you're beat.

on a more serious note, imo a more interesting question than the % question is the question: in practise, how does one keep to the frequency one has chosen? if i want to fold 1/15001 times or whatever, i can't just fold a certain card combo. what heuristic would be most practical whilst being legal and fair too?

So far two answers:
GoOnCal1: 100% Call
Kruppe: (probably jokingly) 100% Fold

Both are wrong.

@Kruppe
You are in this scenario allowed (an endowed with) a perfect RNG.

In practice, some have actually used a wristwatch (where is the second hand when they look) in live play to randomize. Online, you can probably legally have a program on you own running ready to produce a "call" or "fold" based on a percentage. Most use their holecards, calling with the best bluff catchers and folding the worst.

So are you saying "equity considerations" should be less important than maintain a theoretical optimal call/fold range to a river re-raise when holding a bluff-catcher toy have double barrelled.?
Also then you are also fucked up the opening post by say you must then choose a %, and then saying the answer is completely random which is not a statable %

First off, nor am I fucked up, nor have I fucked up anything. I added

Parenthesis: Normal hands play out as well. These can be totally ignored because you only get to set precisely the parameter I have already defined. (In normal play, the competing programs are exactly equal.)

to the OP. This is crystal clear.

Then I have not added clues other than that both 100% call and 100% fold are both wrong. With these, you will get crushed (we are talking about playing many hands here) and you will not get the $100 000 000 promised for BE by PokerStrategy (and you can't possibly win by the statistically significant number of hands played).

I suggest you try to figure out the correct answer instead of trying to find "errors" in the scenario. If you are entirely new to game theory, it is tricky, but not impossible.
