Default Re: The old coin-flip debate (long including quotes)

Lets consider the example:

1st - $50
2nd - $30
3rd - $20
Total Prize $80

Total chips 2000
Other guy 500 25%
Other guy 500 25%

Villain 500 chips 25%
You 500 chips
You 'own' 25% of the chips and therefore $20(of the total prize) After coin Flip $40/2(half of the time you lose) = You will 'own' $20 of the total prize

So in this case we have an $EV+-(Actually its + since the blinds will hurt an low stacked and therefore hurt the chances of winning than a bigger stacked) call, but it also must be took in account the skill of the players in their equity(like in a scale from 0 to 10 how much is likely they to win) as a way to creating their equities. Looks good on paper, but some math genius could comment this
