Am I getting it right?
So hello , i played a guy omaha cash game and I got it in AAxx vs KKxx and the site has equity counter in allins and showed i was 66 % ahead.
So im playing on a site with 400.000 stack in a cashgame (lowlimit) and thats roughly 20 bb deep stacks, a guy is shortsitting me and after just a few hands I get it in with 16% ahead (AA vs KK)
now i started thinking, since the site has to the upper level of rake is it even worth for me to play such short stacks? Will i be profitable even if i manage to get it in with the rake and the time it takes to find a spot to get it in ahead ?
I m ight be thinking wrong but profiting 64000 in the hand mademe realize how little edge i have over short stacks, correct me if im wrong?

If you think getting it in 66-34 (this is 16% ahead?) is not worth it, poker is not for you.
Thats where i was counting wrong thank you for pointing out regardless of tone or intent, im pretty sure im good enuff beat u at some random crypto sitye of your choice a day very soon =) You seem upset before even losing to me so it will be nice
Sure, I lose to people who don't understand percentages every day! Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't play on random crypto sites.
I don't follow your 400 becoming 64,000 at 20bb, but I may be missing something in translation. Does short-sitting mean he leaves table after winning a big pot?
Playing 20bb deep poker without a significant edge should be difficult to show 'huge' profits long term. That being said the ability to play multiple tables at one time online may counter the 'quantity v quality' profit stream.
Welcome to the forums .. I will say that any new member who makes posts with an edge to them wont get too many comments going forward. We are all here to see how others think .. one way or the other. GL

Thank you its kind of irrelevant what i meant is he is sitting with 400k i am sitting with 2 million blinds are 10k/20k
and also thank you for your explanation i am aware =) thanks again
Thats nice, i have played alot. i am not new but never had a mathematical aproach to poker. Hence i got confused in something so simple really, I also play backgammon and there i use a formula to calculate my net profit and i got stuck in a mental loophole plus i have not slept well for some days to explain a bit how i was thinking so wrong in something so simple, thanks again for pointing out.
