if your action in hand X causes the opps' ranges to loosen in hand Y, then your ev will be less in hand Y than if you hadn't taken that action in hand X

No, I don't agree with this statement. I have already given an example where this would be false. You are confusing folding equity with EV.

you don't agree?

example:
i push your bb 2 circuits in a row

the 3rd circuit, i get a hand that icm says is +.1 ev after i've accurately input your range (i'm a mindreader)

on the 4th circuit, i get a hand and input your range from last time...it says i'm +.7ev...but i can read your mind and you are thinking you are calling with a wider range due to my stealing your blinds 3 times in a row...if i input that range into sngpt, it tells me i'm -.3ev

now was it better to push that 3rd time or was it better to fold the 3rd time and then push the 4th time?
