It doesn't sound like ~80% to me. If you lose about 1/3 of your stack and it goes to 666,000 for PushMonkey [PM] and 333,000 for Pro [Pro :)], and the pro doubles up 80% of the time, he still only has 2/3 of the chips, meanwhile 1/5 of the time he is bust.

So out of 100 HU's, he loses 20% on the first confrontation, while on the other 80 HU's he has only 2/3 of the chips. I'll let someone else figure out how the series winds up in those 80 hands.

On the other hand, only waiting for TT or better can't be right if Pro's stack keeps going down. At some point it is correct for Pro to actually become a quasi-PM himself in order to avoid being blinded off while shortstacked. So maybe it does work out to be ~80% when blinds don't go up and blinds are small enough to allow Pro to not be desperate vs an even stack.

On the other hand, I haven't actually studied World series Poker or WPT tourney rules, but I was under the impression that blinds/antes keep going up. Am I right or do they plateau at some point?
