Default Re: Terror in Poker and Finance Part II

Sweet, what you're missing is that when you have a ratio of:

N/D

Decreasing D increases the value of the fraction, but so does increasing N. Since "n" in this value would be the expected "reward" (i.e. how much money you make overall), then EV is still very important according to this model and can still trump decreased variance much of the time.
