This nitpick has now reached its conclusion. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Ok, I agree 100%, I just should have worded it better. As I said, the formula should be used in conjunction with judgments about your table conditions.

This is all I meant to say as well. In particular, I was asking whether the same formula would help to calculate the value of your stack relative to others at your table. In other words, I didn't mean to imply that simply considering the other stacks at your table would estimate your stack's worth overall, but rather that a player might want to make two calculations when faced with a decision, calculating first his equity using the Q for the whole tournament, second using the Q of his table alone.

However, I think that was based on a misuderstanding of the formula. As I understand it now, it calculates your chance of winning first, but not necessarily your equity overall?
