Message: [QUOTE="WVHillbilly, post: 1604344, member: 29447"] The only thing that more players means is more money. Let's look at some EV calcs to prove it. Extreme example: You have AA in a 6-max 10nl game. Everyone has exactly $10 and you are in the BB. Everyone in front of you goes all-in. Let's give them all top 10% hands. When you call you have about 50.5% equity (it's a coin-flip oh no coin-flips are bad right?) in the pot. Our EV is: $25.35 Now same setup except only 4 people shove/call. We now have 64% equity (oh that's better than 50% right?). Our EV is: $22 (guess it's not better after all) Same setup except this time it's folded to the SB who shoves and shows you A2o. You have about 94% equity (this has to be AWESOME!!!! right?). Our EV is: $18.20! Wtf? How does this crazy math thing make winning the pot less often more profitable??? Oh yeah there is more money in the pot and your AA is getting way more than an equal share of it. [/QUOTE]
