Re: Analysis

This is exactly right and may be a point that is confusing many. If Player A, who holds the ace-queen suited, chooses to fold, his expectation from that point on zero. If he chooses to play, and perhaps follows the strategy I outlined and it gives him a positive expectation from that point on, then that positive expectation must come from somewhere. In this case it can only come from Player B who holds the jacks. Thus Player B's expectation is now negative from that point on.

This is so wrong Mason, as I have said before the player with AQs only has a positive expectation with the $110 call because of the dead money in the pot. If there were no blinds and JJ opened for $110 then the expected value of AQs calling the bet is -EV. His +EV is not coming from the player with JJ.
On a lighter note: is "I'll let others elaborate" the new "Do you see why?" New and improved with 10x the condescension.
