Guys, thanks so much for assuming I don't understand EV. Made my day.

"Aside: Did I really save $200? That is, does PartyPoker set the order of the deck at the start of the hand and leave it as such, or does it constantly shuffle the remaining cards? Thanks."

What do you propose we do when you post something like the above?

Saving $200 because of dumb luck, then being upset about it because you lost some EV preflop, through no fault of your own, is clearly missing the forest for the trees. The time to be upset was before I knew an unfavorable board was imminent . . . and I was.

I'm not sure I understand. I'd still be ticked off afterwards. In the long run, you're losing $60 everytime a situation like this occurs. It seems to me that your thinking is result-oriented.
