Default Re: Question about the fundamental theorem of poker

[ QUOTE ]
His failure to raise does not cost him 1 full BB, but about .91 of a BB.

Exactly.

I think the problem is that you're saying he cost himself 1 bet not to raise, whereas it cost you 1 bet minus the 9% of you catching an out to bet into him. In reality, it only cost him 1 bet minus the 9% since you still are going to catch your outs those times, and him not betting saved him money. You either have to consider the 9% for both situations or for neither.
