What if you WON your previous hands? Does that mean your expected value DROPS for future hsnds?

Sorry but EV doesn't change.

Typical definition of EV from the web:

In video poker and blackjack games, the ‘expected value’ is often provided for the player by gaming analysis software. It shows the likely return for any particular play, helping the player calculate their chances and make intelligent decisions which are likely to give them a*payout. Such software is commonly used by poker players and it might also be available within the game’s interface directly. The values shown are averages and might not be entirely representative, but they give the player a good idea of what they might win from each hand they could play.
Alan, again I agree with what you state here. But others are conversing that they are averaging the EV over hundreds of days and multi thousands of plays.

You are correct, EV doesn't change.

That is why one must go for the long haul and not worry about one bad day if you were dealt QQ on every hand.

You guys are smarter than me. I am just interpreting what I am learning.
