It's a question that people are overly concerned with and it gets asked zillions of times. How do I raise my red line! People come from NL holdem and say mmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaannnnnnnnn I'm losing a lot in non-SD pots, WUT DO I DO?!?! Like there's some magic secret that they're missing.
I guess its theoretically possible for everyone to lose money in poker because of the rake.... but isn't poker a zero sum game? So I think if poker is a zero sum game and I lose a dollar, that has to be balanced. I'm going to give an equation to model the situation 0 = -1 + 1 (the -1 is the dollar I lose, the +1 is the dollar someone else gains)
