Default Re: *** Official October Chat Thread: The Purple Goose ***

just to be clear, my problem with these ev graphs are that it is impossible for them to take into account hands like this for example:

raise JJ, get called, flop J57, villain c/c 90% of their stack between the flop and the turn, then bet their last couple dollars on a 6 river and you call and they turn over 34o (happened to me this morning, obv). according to the ev, you ran exactly at expectation because at the all-in/showdown moment, you had 0% equity and got 0% of the pot. what's the worth of an expectation graph if it illustrates ridiculous beats in that manner?
