I don't know, maybe I am too stupid, but even now this looks really complicated to me. This article will be red a huge amount of times by me till I get the idea. Hopefully I ever will.#4

Hi there. I think you've made an error in one of your calculations. I've been scratching my head over it for the past 20 mins and I eventually asked my dad about it aswell. We've both come to the same answer 3 times so it appears you made a mistake.On the first tree diagram your answer for the EV was 0.694. The answer that I've tripple checked is 0.6724.
( 0.5*0 + 0.33*1 + 0.16 * 0.16 * 3 + 0.16 * 0.83 * 2 )

"using mathematical simulations based on realistic standard deviations it becomes clear that for a NL BSS player, swings of up to 60 stacks are very possible, and do indeed occur even for a player with a win rate of 4BB/100 hands."- this is pretty sad.
