Default Re: Chip values of lost vs won chips

Essentially, does a good players chance of winning go down more if they lose 200 chips, then it goes up if they win 200 chips?

yes, and by a lot imo at the lower levels. in the 109s and 215s, you have to open up yer game a lot more in the early stages though and have to take those risks to get the extra 200. everyone is so maniacal on the bubble its hard to maintain much of an edge by just playing pushbot strategy. holla

good point. Lower the buyin, the more a good player should pass up slight edges because he/she has a bigger edge later. At the higher buyins, where most know what is going on, a good player cant take enough advantage at the bubble as a low buin player would and hence cant pass up too many edges earlier.

at the low buyins, having just 1 or 2 out of 5 or 6 on/near the bubble not understand the bubble and blind and stack size dynamics is a HUGE edge for a good player.
