Here's the problem, RS___: Of course I would go for the royal, but you cannot judge what another does. For someone else holding the dealt flush is enough to make their day. For example-- someone is playing a $100/coin VP machine, 8/5 Bonus. What's that dealt flush worth to them?
Of course you can argue they have no business playing a $100/coin VP machine if they don't have the bankroll to try for the royal. But it's their money -- not yours. And that is the point: it's their money, and winning $2500 just might be the big windfall they need. And for them $2500 in hand is worth a heck of a lot more than $400,000 in the bush.
This is where actual results beat math and theory.
But the armchair quarterbacks (Super Bowl is tomorrow hence the analogy) would never understand that.
