if there is any game with +ev you could play instead of lotto'ing, then your ev is the discussed zero minus what you could make playing the +ev-game, hence -ev

he is telling me that if they other players pooled their money together for our 5 way PLO all in fest that they would have a combined edge and i would inevitably go broke since it is slightly -ev with the rake and i don't have a big enough bankroll to handle the swings'.

Abdul Jalib (sp?) wrote a piece on RGP about combined outs of fish calling you down in limit and how it was like collusion. He didn't call it that, though. Would be cool if someone could find it.
