Re: Hypothetical situation, would like some discussion

Are you better than 53% of the field?

I think this is something of a factor, yes.
This surely can't be the whole story, though, can it?
Also, the way you are stating TEV can't be right, can it?
Suppose I'm a much much better player than 60% of the field, but the other 40% of the field is on average just a little better than me? Or maybe i'm just a little better than 60% of the field, but the other 40% is miles ahead of me in skill. Surely it has to be some weighted average.
Also, compare doubling up here and playing the WSOP 1/2 the time with a double chip stack right off the bat, to playing the WSOP twice with the same chips as everyone else each time? What is going to make you more money on average? There are effects of having a big chip stack here that actually increase your "edge versus the field", no?
