Math guys: What is the expected EV for SBR Bash Poker?

[onthewhat]

I think like $5,000 prize pool and I am predicting no more than 30 posters show up to the bash to play

So your expected EV is $166. Not bad.

On the assumption that you'll be still chained to a lamp post, recovering from multiple punches to the face or sitting in your room nursing your anal wounds by the time the game starts then the EV is now over $172.

Ask Mathdotbomb. He is a genius. And pretty damn handsome as well.

Bread shouldn't you be working on your American Idol writeups?

Yes your EV is $166 under the assumption that all players are of equal skill. Factor in the fact that you could be doing something much more productive/fun than sit around playing cards with posters and your EV (with opportunity cost included) is definitely negative.

Then again it may be fun to see CrazyLou blow up after he gets sucked out on on the river.

With my poker skill I assume my EV to be about 72 cents.
