Default Re: Players having pieces of others in cash games

It's a limit game, but the idea of being aggressive to force others out and capitalize still apply. That isn't the question here though. It's this.

Let's say you're in a 3 handed game. The other two guys are playing the same bankroll. It's basically 2 on 1 against you. Instead of playing aggressive to force you out of pots, they just best hand you. Every hand they'll take the best one between the two of them to go against yours. Doesn't sound too good.

Now change it that, instead of them both on the same roll, one guy has 50% of the other. They aren't best handing you. The guy who has 50% of himself is playing legit and trying to win for himself.

If everyone's playing legit, does that give the guy with a 50% piece an edge on you in the game EV wise? That's the question.

I narrowed it down to 3 handed, but the reality is that it's usually the staker has a piece of at least two guys in a full game.
