Of course feel players are doing EV analysis, but that's 99% about estimating hand ranges properly. The math is certainly the most simplistic part of the analysis.

EV = "Earned Value"?

Could you outline the process or point to a place to read up on it WRT poker?

@General is right. Here's a great link about what this process generally involves and why you would do it: http://www.pokerology.com/lessons/calculating-expected-value...
Thanks, I know expected values, thoughts this was a game-theoretic analysis adding in potential winnings as a weighting or some such.
My guess would be "expected value," which is an entry-level topic in anything related to probability and randomness.
