Default Re: Am I stupid? I can\'t fit these two concepts into any type of harmony.

Let's not forget in our analysis that while our bankroll is finite, so to is the total amount of money that can be won playing poker. Whether that's all the money in the world, or just a fraction of it, it definitely changes some conclusions.

If the amount of money that could be won in the game was infinite, you could eventually hit some astronomical bad luck streak with a trillion (or whatever our current bankroll is) bet down swing etc. However, you must compare the risk of ruin to the chance of winning every sweet penny.

Just imagine what would happen if you won "all the money in the world." [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
