Re: Simulation Request.
Good post! When I read your first one, I thought, "This can't be right," but sure enough it was.
i was trying to imply that comparing one hand to another in isolation is a somewhat pointless exercise in many cases
I think it's valuable information if you are going all in before the flop, but you've certainly pointed out the futility of taking it too far.
I ran all your examples with the cards on the board, then re-ran them with the same cards in the dead pile (as if they'd been flashed). The results weren't nearly as dramatic and clearly indicated the impact of a single card on the board. No wonder the oldtimers were so obsessed with burning the top card- knowing only one card could signify such major swings.
