Re: Mathematical Expectation in tourneys vs. cash games
SheridanCat makes a good point. People say in a ring game it's different because you can just buy back in. This is of course true, but in a tournament you can essentially do the same thing, it's just you buy into the next tournament. The long run, as incredibly long as it is, is even longer in tournament play. This is probably why we hear so many stories about even the very well known tournament players being broke and getting staked so often.
