Running It Twice

[Jordan Olsommer]

Deleted my earlier post, because I had mistaken the second-trial EV when TomCollins was talking about the overall EV, which indeed does stay the same.

For an illustration of why, just think of a computer program enumerating all possible river cards for a certain matchup and specified board. The way it does this is by basically dealing out a card, evaluating the hands to see who won, and then throwing that card out and dealing another card from the deck which not only has one card less than before, but like in the situation described by the OP, you know exactly what that card is.

That changes the EV from trial to trial, but it doesn't change the overall EV.
