5. If you were expected to half your buy in, doubling your chips would have a greater effect? This doesn't sound right.

This is something that not many of us have thought of because we like to consider ourselves winning poker players, but I think that this may help find some conclusions. Are you saying that somebody with a $4999 expectation can have an expectation over $10000 after doubling, or somebody with a $5001 expectation still will not have an equity over $10000 after doubling?

The amount of skill you have changes the rate of equity change when you double. See my example if you want to try to apply some math to it. Change the 60% figure to 30% or 80% and see how the outcome changes.
Or, if you're too lazy to do the math, someone with max equity (guarenteed first place) will gain zero from a double up.
