All the blues may as well be zero, my plan on all-or-peanuts finishes is to look for the sum of money that's half as useful to me as the 'all'. That sum is £40,000, so all the sub-£40k Banker's Gambles are to be taken on here.

£45,000 against £1k? £1k isn't enough there to make me shift my tipping point. £3k is, but only to £45k, not £50k. £10k, though, is enough to shift it past £60k, and obviously I'd also undeal £55k with a £15k kicker.

probably all except the 50K one but still not sure as 3K isn't nothing.

A lot of the time I'd be be prepared to risk a potential 20K and end up with peanuts anyway so nearly all these undeals are easy.

Obviously 45-50K+ on all or peanuts is trickier.

I would've taken the 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th and the 9th one due to the reds, and I wouldn't mind winning one of those reds

I would take the ones with a backup of £5,000 or more except I probably wouldn't undeal 60K
with 10K and 250K remaining. I would probably undeal £19,000 on a 1p and 250K
finish however.

I'd be tempted to take all of them, but I'd definately take the ones with £10,000 and £15,000 backup. The others would depend on what mood I was in.

If I was going to "undeal" any of these amounts, then I wouldn't have dealt them in the first place with £250k on the board. Wouldn't consider dealing under £20k with the big one left, possibly not even £25k. The higher ones I'd stick to my original decision as the low red wouldn't seem much of a backup really.
