hey guys, its me again with one of my wierd threads but this time i think this question will make a good conversation topic.
when we say that a play is EV+ and we say that a particular move works in the long run, can some one please explain to me what is the definition of the long run?
How long is the run? are we talking about 5 years time? are we talking about at the end of our poker carreer? like for example,lets say someone is a recreational player and wants to play poker for a month and decides to deposit 500 $ and play it. if we take into consideration the fact that some "correct" plays will work most of the time but not all of the time, then this person i just described can make all the right moves with his 500$ and go bust, RIGHT? cause the long run might be more than the month he decided to play.so variance might not be on his side during that month and he might go bust playing like a super pro. i dont know if this even makes any sense but i hope some of you can see where im going with it. any comments? what is the long run as we tend to very often use it in our posts.?
AND ALSO: does strict bankroll management in combination with flawless play guarantee winning and not going bust on a theoretical level but also on a practical one too? i wanna hear opinions.
