Wow, never had an idea of mine called that before. I must finally be doing something right.

From your original post:

I think that meassuring one luck factor, while imperfect, is significantly better than messuring none.

I suggest you look up the concept known as the "theory of the second best."

The pushometer will tell you that getting your chips in the middle with KK is a good idea. The luckometer will tell you that running into AA and losing is unlucky, but only slightly so. Together, they will tell you that you played well but was unlucky.

Wait, so now my silly and moronic idea is being incorporated into your Luckometer? Do I get a silly and moronic royalty for that?

Also, consider the statistical likelihood of your KK running into AA. Why is that only slightly unlucky?

I suggest you tell us why that theory would be applicable here, instead. The theory talks about what happens when one condition necessary to achieve Pareto-optimality is missing. Please explain what this has to do with the situation at hand.

(I'm not saying you are not right, it's just not ovious to me what you are aiming for.)

I was referring to the fact that losing with KK vs. AA is slightly unlucky. Running into AA with KK is very unlucky, expecially short-handed, of course.
