Default Re: Another Simulation That Sheds Light on Chips Changing Value

"Notice that with very big stacks there is no reason to play without being favored over the field. With monstrous stacks you should play only as a big favorite."

What do you mean by this? To be favored over the field means, you expect to have best hand over 50% of the time. The ninth root of 1/2 is ~.926. Isn't this the limiting probability? If I make the stack arbitrarily large number, I will still call with this hand and above with a slight overlay. What is the meaning of big favorite?
