LOL there's enough *explicit* bias that I *know* those two players would have different EVs.
Here are some things people have said to my *face*, my gambly, yellow face:
"Why is it that you Asians play feel-based strategies rather than math-based strategies?"
"I bet you live off your daddy's trust fund."
"Um, I work for Novartis."
"Well I bet your daddy owns the company."
"What do you do during the day that allows you to drop $500 a night like this?"
(FTR: "I'm a pimp.")
And on the other end of the spectrum, here are some of the things people have said to my face, my nerdy, four-eyed face:
"25 times 24 ... 25 times 24. I bet callipygian knows this off the top of his head."
(FTR: I did.)
"I'd play 3-handed with almost any two people but not with two people who look like they went to Ivy League schools."
(To his neighbor) "Watch out for the techie types. This guy (nods at me) looks like he played a million hands on the Internet before any of us heard about the Internet."
