That is the way EV difference works.
So, if you have for example AA vs 99 you are like 80 percent favorite. Which means if the all in is for 10 dollar's, on average you will win 8 dollars.
So when you win the hand with AA, you win a pot of 20$ but in EV you only win 16 $ right?
So EV difference is -4$, since you were only "entitled " to 16$ according to EV, but u won a full 20$ pot. Hope I made it clearer for you.
Also will follow this thread, gl with your goals!

The are no preflop situations where you can go all in, go to showdown and win 100% of the time, hence the ev difference. Same is true for a lot of flop and turn spots.

I think it just means that, playing away to Stoke City on a cold night in winter (our stadium is on top of a hill so especially cold!) where the home supporters are loud and hostile is a big reason why the english premiership is such a tough division, and a huge test for foreign stars who aren't used to such conditions.

But over the last few years it's become a big myth because we are now crap, though the ground is still cold!

BTW William, do you only play on party or do you play both party and stars? What are your thoughts on positives and negatives between the two?

i really enjoy party poker, the field is good, not bery big but good, rakeback is better than stars, obviously

and for people who like to play mtt's too is a very nice site! it's a complete site i think

the only positive thing in stars is the pool, more larger, more fishes, more gamblers
