MicroBob,

Your math looks reasonable.

Of course, there were these Greek philosophers. One argued that you could not walk out of a room, since you had to first walk half the distance to the door. Then half the remaining difference. And so on such that you would never arrive at the door. The other disagreed, and walked out.

For all the theoretical considerations aside, most 2-4 live games are very beatable even at $4 max rake. The games are just that good. Still neither here nor there, but it underlines the difficulty in trying to define so narrowly one set of parameters, when you don't really know what you are applying them to. There is just no good way to accurately quantify how beatable a game is purely on theory, when the numbers you need are not quantifiable. ie how good is the player? how good is the game? and so on.....
