as such, once you find the std dev in $/hand you should account for how much that money that represents with respect to the table stakes

You know, I really think this sentence represents the key to the entire disagreement.

Why should we account for how much that money represents with respect to the table stakes?

Table stakes are arbitrary. I can play any level I want. The real effect I want to see is how my bankroll is affected.

To be able to make any sort of valid comparison between HUSNG and cash, you *have* to be able to compare different stakes directly, because late in a $100 sng, your $100 stack is no longer worth 75BB. It's worth 10BB. You've said that this situation is exactly the same as a situation comparing a 100BB $100 stack against a 10BB $10 stack. I vehemently disagree, and have given all the mathematical proof that I possibly can.

You know what?

I'm talking in circles again. I cannot possibly restate this in any way that is more clear than the ways I have already stated it.

So, do you accept the bet or not?
