You explain the difference between the EV and the strategy sb. These numbers always make sense to me. Would you please help show the math between the difference of the BB's EV and the strategy bb? Feel pretty thick here, but I've not been able work it out yet.
Ok, please see the screenshot below.
SB's strategy EV
Let's just start with the simpel one here.
SB's EV for this situation is 0.35.
However, he had to invest a 0.5 blind in order to get into this spot.
Therefore the EV for SB's strategy is 0.35-0.5=-0.15
BB's strategy EV
BB's EV for the call is 0.33.
This scenario happens in 30% of the cases.
In the other 70% of the cases SB folds and BB wins the pot of 1.5.
That makes the total EV for BB for this situation:
30%*0.33 + 70%*1.5=1.149
However, BB had to post a blind of 1 in order to get into this spot.
Therefore the EV of BB's strategy prior to posting is 1.149-1=0.149
