Default Re: Mathematical Expectation in tourneys vs. cash games

In a ring game each hand has only one winner -- thats the end of it -- like one coin toss.

In a tournament there is only one winner -- the whole tournament is the game -- like one coin toss is one game. All the hands you played in the tournament all add up to produce your result -- winner or looser.

Okay, I see where you're coming from, but you're being very results oriented. It's the combined expected value of all hands played that really matters. Individual results are statistically meaningless.
