Sad thing is I knew it was coming

I'm gonna ask an amateur's question about all this....
when doing the stats math, shouldn't I be taking into consideration what stakes level of game it is?
I mean, there is a huge difference in player style or antics between certain freerolls and higher games, way more callers

The stakes don't change the math so much as it changes your strategy. also,you will find yourself in situations you may have not found yourself in at higher stakes. For example you may make a bet that should get a draw off a hand and it will at high stakes bc not enough odds but at low stakes people call bc they wanna hit that draw regardless of their odds. However, the probability of you fading the draw remains mathmaticaly the same. Just like someone may call 87 suited for a 40bb all in at low stakes against your AA but not at high stakes. The probability of your AA holding against that 78 is the same regardless of the buy in level.

So you may find your getting more bad beats at lower stakes bc more gambling is done but the probability of winning or losing a given hand based on the cards doesn't change. I am no math or poker expert so anyone can feel free to add to this comment or bring up a point I am wrong about.
