The following websites (and many others) contain articles on expected value as it relates to Poker. Please read these (or other web artcles or library books) and write an essay in your own words about using the expected value concept in  Poker OR any other game of your choosing.  These essays should include a bibliography (web citations are acceptable).  This essay should be from three to five pages in length.  As I’ve mentioned the following all count: grammar, spelling, originality, mathematical content, organization, clarity.

I have decided to make this OPTIONAL for extra credit.  If you want to do this, I will grade it and add it to your class score.
