Villian isnt likely to check down to the river and lets us realize that last 14% eq for free
I am not understanding the 14% equity at the end. You only really need to "realize" 3% more equity to break even.
If you meant the extra equity you need relative to the equity you have that would be 3/13 which is 23%.
Any way you are correct that the calculator shows showdown equity but you are not correct that post flop play only benefits the AA/KK and since you only need to compensate a small amount of money post flop for your marginal -EV call preflop it's really not that hard to make up in value with bluffing and future betting with remaining stacks.
