Default Something I\'ve been thinking about

OK, a few questions. Lets for arguements sake say that although all these plays are 0 EV (ie, ignore pot size as well), you want to do all of them. Also assume, that he has every hand in his range with equal possibility. The question is, what 1 would you prefer, or does it make no difference....and why?

Example 1: Villain has 2 hands in his range, One you have 0% equity against, the other, you have 100% equity against.

Example 2: Villain has 3 hands in his range, 2 of them have 75% equity vs your hand, 1 of them has 0% equity vs your hand

Example 3: Villain has 3 hands in his range, 2 of them have 25% equity vs your hand, 1 of them has 100% equity vs your hand

Example 4: Villain has 2 hands in his range, One you have 25% equity against, the other, you have 75% equity against.

Example 5: Villain has 10 hands in has range. 5 Have 0% equity vs your hand and 5 have 100% equity vs your hand.

Hand reading for our sake matters and villain having to make more difficult decisions, matters also. Perhaps lower variance also matters, but it's a little difficult to take all of this into consideration theoretically.

the only thing i would care about here is the information i got from a call. I don't care about variance. So I can't really answer, you'de have to be alot more specific.

i think what matters as to which of the 5 examples i want will depend very heavily on villain.

Assuming all the pots are the same size all of these are 0 EV. I don't think I'd care.

i strongly prefer less variance. you guys should too, because it means you can move up faster. which is highly +EV in a meta-sense. not to mention everyone tilts, even those of you who think you don't, and reducing variance reduces tilt.

if you're getting at something deeper than that, you lost us all.
