I haven't got a midwest American accent. Your dreams are stupid mojo. I have a Brummie accent. Here's a famous Brummie presenting a tv programme that just happens to have on it a beautiful poker player being a bitch.

You have a game show called Golden Balls, in which the point of the game is sit face to face with someone and bluff the living shit out of them. Then you choose the winner by those 2 people comparing their balls.

So much meta.

The suggested Nash Equilibrium is to choose steal. If both have chosen steal, then neither can improve by unilaterally switching to split. However, since they don't lose by the switch, it's a bit different than a typical "Faustian Bargain".

The guy nails it in this vid where he takes the line, "I'm going to steal. There's nothing to do about it. If you pick steal, then neither gets anything at all. If you pick split, then I win... and I will split some (half) of the money with you. Trust me. I'm going to steal." This puts the decision on the other person as having advantage to playing split, where playing steal is a clear loss. This line breaks the flaw presented by the pseudo-Faustian bargain wide open.
