Default Re: I Know 2+2 Wants To Kill Me For This......

I found the link:

Here

The situation was different (on the flop instead of preflop and pumping instead of calling), but the concept is still the same. The posters in this thread weren't no-name n00bs and there's much validity to the myth you spoke about. Tstone said it best, followed by vkh's 2nd post.

What we do in EV neutral situations has a direct bearing on whether or not actions on the later streets are positive. Implied odds and reverse implied odds, however, are not affected. This concept shows that it's possible to have a miniscule EV edge and, at the same time, also possible that adding money will turn that small edge into a small deficit. I believe this is only the case for (non all-in) situations when there is street by street betting and only affects hands (like AK vs. a PP) that need to improve to win.

EDIT: Stellar, thanks for the above screen name edit. Good looking out. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
