How should one interpret this? If i had cashed, i can understand that EV should be negative, in case i sucked out big time on the bubble or something. But given that i lost my buy-in by not cashing... How was i supposed to lose 4,7 bucks plus the buy-in?
I'm not a SNG player, but I think I know how HEM works here. At least, the latest versions have ICM calculations in them.
So, before a hand begins, you have X chips, and this translates to an ICM-expected cash equity of Y.
Now, if you make a call that will, on average, lose you chips, your ICM equity goes down. So a fold would have been $EV=0 or even positive (because if someone busts, you win EV dollars by folding), and now your $EV has gone down.
So you are not losing your buy-in plus money, you are losing a part of your current cashing equity.
