Default Re: Mathematical Expectation in tourneys vs. cash games

In a ring game each hand you play is indepentant, like one toss of a coin, maybe thousand of independant hands per year.

In a tournament the hands are not independent but are all just part of the tournament. Each tournament is just one toss of a coin. Even if you played one tournament a day that would only be 365 tosses of the coin per year, unlike the thousands of tosses of ring games. (I just made this up off the top of my head as an idea to throw in to the discussion.)
