    At the far end of the table
    Another thing to note is, the closer to 50% your equity is, the more variance you will experience in your results in the short term. If you're only a 51% favorite in a hand, you would have to run the simulation infinite number of times before your winrate in that spot = EV.
    Should that be = +EV?
    However, the closer we can come to playing 'perfect' poker as possible, the higher our winrate, the moar mannies we get to cash out and rub on our titties.

    But really, it is an important post for many, do we need the extra curricular advice?

    No, I meant it will take an infinite number of hands for our winrate in that spot equal our Expected Value for making that action.

    Are you offended? If so, I apologize. It was meant as a joke from a thread on another poker forum that the majority of the posters here will understand.

    No, not all.
    It just looked out of context to me but apparently I missed the reference. (And yes, I'm sure there are many of you who can put forward a variety of arguments as to why it is always in context no matter what the subject.)
