Re: Pokerstove question
I guess one explanation is that D2's equity vs D1's range is 60.376%, so any hand that has less equity than that vs D1's range naturally weighs D2's equity down.
As is the case with 88, with only 50.325% equity, when you take the weighted average of that and 60.376 will naturally result in a lower number. However, D2 now has more hands that he's calling with, so overall his net chips won should go up because now he has 6 extra hands that make him money.
Notice how if you take 99 out of D2's range and make it TT+,AJs+,AJo+, his expectation goes up to 60.970 from 60.358. For a more blatant example, make his calling range AA, and his expectation becomes 84.493%. Now, any hand you add to AA will lower his equity. Make it KK+ and his equity drops to 79.159%.
PS, isn't SNG Power Tools a better tool to improve your late game?
