Theorem of expected stack sizes

[PrayingMantis]

[ QUOTE ]
you think we're saying M=4 > M=8.

I do not think that this is what you're saying, certainly not as a generalization. However, if you'll read through Betgo's posts in one of his threads there, he's specifically talking about the advantages of leaving the "orange zone" for the "red zone", or intentionally dropping down from the "orange zone" to the "red zone" (by playing super-tight at the orange zone, for instance), since being in the "red zone" might be more advantagous at times. This is in complete contradiction to the theorem in the OP.

This is with regard to Betgo. I won't get into details regarding what you were saying (the above was enough) - but you can certainly present it again here, or put it in other words, or elaborate on it. If you think that people do not understand it, you should do ALL you can in order to make it clear.
