Another way of looking at it.
Well since he is going to be playing BJ anyway, I told him to look at it this way. While you may be uncomfortable risking $75 on a hand, you know that you would be betting $40 usually in BJ anyway, so in essence, you're risking $35 more to make an additional $110 and possibly more if you get BJ. If he puts it down in a high count, it would definitely be worth it. Even if this was the choice between taking $100,000 or going for $300,000 I think you'd be crazy not to go for the $300,000
