Abstract
We examine a generalization of one-dimensional random walks with one reflecting and one absorbing boundary, in which a range of strategies is available, and the goal is to avoid absorption for as long as possible; we show a sharp threshold for the walk parameter separating linear and exponential expected walk times.
