That is exactly the thing NoTurns, BB do not matter at all. BB is deceiving because it can be .02 or $2000. It is not constant. Whereas dollars is always a constant measure.

Like I said, it can matter, it is a matter of perspective. And since your question was which player was running well, neutral or bad, BB (imho) is all that matters, and $ is not.

Furthermore, you don't need any calculations to see the EV $-wise for both players is neutral. This is because of the simple fact the less likely event happened 10 times in a row and then the likely event happened 1 time at exactly stakes 10 times as much. This little "trick" doesn't change the fact one player was running good and one player was running bad.

If you analyze your own game to see if you are running well or just got lucky, you will most definately draw the wrong conclusions if you only look at $ and say the BB are irrelivant. Theoretically you then should draw the conclusion that going allin with KK vs AA is nothing more than a coinflip. Do you see why? If that's the case (but I'm guessing it's not, for your sake)...I would really like to see you at my tables [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img].
