Re: Mathematical explanation of having advantage with big stack
[ QUOTE ]
quick question, i read some of the argumnet for the small stack against a big stack, ie 200 v. 20,000. In NLHE the best you can hope for preflop is 80% v. 20% correct? 4 to 1 favorite. two pocket pairs facing off. if the short stack gets all his money in preflop with the best of it everytime he'll still lose his stack by the 5th race. at that point he'll have $3200 dollars. my point, or question is the big stack can afford to keep gambling against this guy with almost anything until they get lucky. thats a pretty big advantage to basically not have to think critically against a player simply because you can out bankroll him even if he outplays you severely.

If I can cash out any time I want, this game is still to my advantage if my bankroll can handle busting two or three times. All I have to do is double up a couple/few times and then leave.
A -EV bet is still -EV regardless of what you have left over afterward.
