You're cool. I'
m not insulted by you, only by my
own self-criticism.
By the way... the following question touches one of my pet peeves, so bear with the semi-rant that comes. It's not about you, so much as the failed education system which tells people that it's OK to be voluntarily ignorant.
Well, first off, I told you exactly the math for a full calculation when you are not
all-in, and all you had to do was ask. I'
m not so sure I see what you mean by the information being hard to find.
BUT, assuming that you have a point which I have simply not observed, I assume that it's mostly because people have been told that it's OK to not be embarrassed if they can't do grade-school math. So people who are fully capable of doing the math say, "it's hard," as if the difficulty of math-thinking is even remotely comparable to the actual difficult things they
deal with (and solve) on an hourly basis.
Also, people want to believe that there is some "neat trick" that they can memorize to be good at poker, and when they see a simplified, dumbed down EV calc which assumes they're all in, they shy away from it. So what's the point of showing them a more complicated EV calculation with fewer assumptions when they
don't even care enough to try to understand the most simple forms?
E.g. you've still not answered these 5 questions:
Why is that?
