If we put 3 bets into a 20 bet pot with 40% equity we net a gain of 2.7 bets (20/3*0.4). If we put 2 bets in with 40% equity we net 4 bets (20/2*0.4). You'll notice that this happens to be a huge freaking difference! Double the pot size and you double the disparity.

Dude, your maths is wrong. I'm sorry. See my above post.
edit- To clearly see why dividing cost into pot size is incorrect, imagine that you were almost allin, and only had to pay 0.1 BB. Somehow your value is now bigger than the pot size!

Oh [censored]. I always assumed that EV was proportional to cost, like leveraging returns on an investment. Now that you mention it, though, that doesn't make sense at all. This basically means that all my poker to date has been based on deeply flawed logic. Wow.
Jason, I apologize.
