@zep

Of course feel players are doing EV analysis, but that's 99% about estimating hand ranges properly. The math is certainly the most simplistic part of the analysis.

EV = "Earned Value"?

Could you outline the process or point to a place to read up on it WRT poker?

Thanks, I know expected values, thoughts this was a game-theoretic analysis adding in potential winnings as a weighting or some such.

My guess would be "expected value," which is an entry-level topic in anything related to probability and randomness.
