Message: [QUOTE="bhood1776, post: 1464565, member: 65627"] [FONT=Arial]Something else to consider: Every time you win a hand you are essentially sucking out. A lot of people do not consider that when you win a hand you are getting more chips than you deserve. Let’s say you are the short stack with 1,500 chips. The blinds are 100/200 and you shove with A/Ko on the button. The BB with 20,000 chips calls with 4/6s. (What an idiot, right? No, not really.) Neither of you hits and you take the 3,100 pot. Most people don’t think anything about their win, because this was what “should” have happened. They take their 3,100 chips and don’t think twice about the results.[/FONT] You were only 58.84% to win that hand. So if the results were fair, you would have only received 1,830 chips (58.84% of the 3,100 pot, plus another 6 for the times you split). You taking the entire pot there deprived the villain of the 1,269 in equity that he had in that pot. So he is getting an “unfair” return for his investment. (I’d like to note that you average a 330 chip profit in that situation when he calls, and the pot was 300 when you shoved.) Now, I put “unfair” in quotes because over time it all balances out. The more this situation happens the closer he comes to winning 40.72% of the time. So in the long run, he gets his 40.72% of all those pots he played. (But the times he wins he gets cussed at.) I get the point your are trying to make here but this is wrong IMO because it changes the rules of the game. His equity was 41% to WIN the hand. Once he loses his equity drops to zero, therefore he was not deprived of anything. [/QUOTE]
