Interesting thread.

After looking over spoon's math in comparison to your theory it actually makes alot of sense, as long as we are sure we're going to be donated to I guess, as was the case in your home game.

If I'm not mistaken I think this is sort of what Doyle was getting at in Supersystem, about how he can afford to take slightly -EV all ins vs other players because he expects to get their money back one way or another by pwning them in every other pot. So if Doyle has a very large roll playing against a bunch of short rolled ATM visiting live fish who will sit out the night till they bust out, he basically just needs to keep getting into big pots with them and take lots of borderline flips etc (even ones that are slightly - EV), hence his very loose/aggressive get the chips in the middle style.
