### Comment:
the closer you were to ITM originally, the less profit you make. 
  
 so if you were only one strike above ITM, then your gains would be small. 
  
 if you were multiple strikes above ITM and now it's ITM, thats when you make real money

thanks man. so if I'm playing earnings, it's a balance of how greedy I want to be while also avoiding IV crush
