He's breaking exactly even so..

profit from +EV calls = loss from -EV calls

Yeah, that's the point. "Loss from -EV calls" should be 0. You should never make a -EV call, right? If he has lots of -EV calls, it means he's calling too much. If he stops calling in those spots he currently thinks are close, he'll make more money. That is, if he plays tighter in this spot, he'll do better. That's what I was driving at in this total bomb of a thread.

"Profit from +EV calls" should be maximum possible. You should always make a +EV call, right? If he has too few +EV calls, it means he's calling too little. If he calls more in those spots he currently thinks are close, he'll make more money. That is, if he plays looser in this spot, he'll do better.

Don't see how you can choose one over the other from the information given.

If he likes to call and has made almost every +EV call correctly then he has also made a ton of -EV calls to break even. (fold more)

If he likes to fold and has made only a few +EV calls then he has made only a few -EV calls to break even. (call more)
