Default Re: marginal situations

Ok, i'm still confused but let me take a shot.

If something is +EV - positive expected value - in a NL game, it means that making the play a 1000 times will show a profit.

Now, the difference in FL and NL lies in pot odds compared to implied odds. To be +EV in no limit you'd have to take into account both.

I'm struggling to see how a +EV play in fixed limit couldn't be a +EV play in no limit though.

In no limit you could take a play that would be -EV all the time and due to implied odds it would become a +EV play. Straight draw were you aren't getting the odds to draw but figure you are up against a set.

I'd take every marginal +EV limit play possible in a NL game since if it's +EV regarding drawing i can make it +EV even more.

EV is in a lot more places than just drawing hands though. When deciding to call on the river when getting 10:1 will involve EV. When deciding to bluff.

So if you are still confused give an example.

Hope this helped.
