Default Re: Conjecture and Question

***Feel free to disregard this post. I know it is rambling, but I believe I have a better chance of learning something here for having engaged the problem.***

Bravo, Shane, and for what it's worth (not much I'm sure)I agree, but in this hypothetical I am... "a great tournament player. Perhaps one of the best."

With this as the given my instincts tell me doubling on the 1st hand certainly couldn't have more than doubled my expectation and it is probably a bit less than double due to my believing that each chip I win is worth less than the one before.

A guesstimate would put my new expectation between 72500 and 77500, but that is just a feeling which I'm sure doesn't help with Mason's question all that much. Really interested in seeing some more of these replies.
