Re: Thoughts on Expected Value
A few comments.
EV is a theoretical (hypothetical) concept average is not.
If you have had Aces 10 times and actually lost $10 your average is -$1. The EV may have been $40.
Premium pairs and Aces in particular are by far the strongest hands. While your average may be negative I can't imagine that the way you play Aces is so bad that you turn them into -EV. Post some examples in the small stakes forum.
Going on tilt just because your aces gets cracked is very bad and may turn you into a loosing player. You really have to work on that.
You are correct that most hands are loosers. That's why it is so easy to beat players who plays almost every hand.
