+EV is +EV... no?

theoretically yeah, but that assumes a continuum. realistically taking coonflips with possibly no fold equity could have you on the worse end of the coinflip, and you could be losing these coinflips when you're ahead as well. In the short run these losses can compound and be aggravating and lead to worse decisions. the bad end of this variance if it continues is devastating. I still take marginaly + EV, but make sure it IS positive
