EV in the sense of the high ROR is what you mean right?

Although if you run hot, its sexy [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] and allows you to potentially play 3/6 or 5/10 when you may normally play 2/4

-EV? huh??

It's not? Holy c***!
Then the 2p2ers here lecturing about having at least 300BB at your new limit are all part of a conspiracy?

RoR is not relevant to EV. You're quite likely to bust through this challenge, but when you don't, you'll win a lot.

It's only -EV if you are willing to continue playing higher and higher until you can't beat the game. If you stop at a limit you know you can beat, then it's not -EV.

its -EV in the sense that you give up time playing poker to do this when you will most likely bust before you win big.

POKhER are you playing FR or 6 max.

Guys, I know -EV has become semi-synonymous with "bad idea" on 2+2, but that's not what the term really means. EV has a specific mathematical meaning, and make sure you understand it in and out before you start abusing it for fun.

Bad poker decisions resulting from fuzzy math skills is no fun.

6max LOL, Full ring will probably be easier and lower ROR, but 6max is more fun!
