Mathematically, are the 4 Player match -EV to a HU SNG?
Topic?
I can't figure out how to determine the math on this which makes me feel dumb. Long time lurker, first time poster. I tried searching for it and couldn't find anything useful. You win the extra entry when you win the 4man, but you are obviously going to lose more often as you have to win two in a row. How would I determine mathematically which is the better option long-run? Thanks for any answers to my noobish post. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Re: Mathematically, are the 4 Player match -EV to a HU SNG?
I used to think I was a genius playing these 4 player shootouts on Pokerstars for $10. Then I figured that I was placing 2nd way too much, and playing both games would be more time consuming.
These are great if you are the occasional player who just wants to play a few games per night, they are also great for BR boosts. But I think in the long run, a 1-on-1 HU sng match is more profitable. I have also experienced these things to be more tilt proning, when you own your 1st opponent, own your 2nd opponent, and blinds hit 100-200 and you it becomes a donk-fest shove-fest, and you end up losing the coinflip, you tend to get annoyed for the fact that you spent 1 hour for a $0 profit when you actually beat an opponent. These are FUN, and are good for BR boosts, and good for the OCCASIONAL player who has limited playing time per night. |
