Here's a fun question that has to do with an upcoming strategy column:
You're getting all-in pre-flop heads-up. Would you rather get in $23 with 55 percent equity, or would you rather get in $11 with 60 percent equity?

I would rather $23 with 55%. In 100 hands I am winning $1265 (55*23) and losing $1035, which is $2.3 per hand ((1265-1035)/100). $11 at 60% we are only winning $2.2. |

My level one thinking can not get passed the fact that while yes the % ROI may be higher for $11 at 60%, i will still make more money in 100 hands with $23 at 55%. |

Personally I wonder if the money here is what matters. Your EV is going to be far more important in the long term. Poker is not a one hand game. It's about making EV choices. When you are moving up the stakes you need to be making EV plays and the money will come. I want the 60% at every stake. I want the 60% all in for 100BB+ stacks. I find it hard to believe we ever look at the money if we are true poker players. The money is the result of the EV | |

If you get all-in pre-flop for $23 with 55 percent equity, then your EV is: | |
