When I look at the "Entire Decision" panel there's a summary box at the bottom with pot size, combos, equity and EV (and some other stuff). I can understand why IP Equity and OOP Equity have to sum to 100%, but I don't get why IP EV and OOP EV sum to the current pot size. Surely the EV also depends on future bets and calls, so the sum of the IP and OOP EV should be greater than (or equal to) the current pot size?
The two players are fighting over the pot, so their EV's will always add up to the pot. So, for example, if the pot is $80, then if one player has a $55 share in the pot, then the other player will have the remaining $25.

If that hand is, for example, the nut flush, then it may well be possible that the EV of that hand is greater than that pot. The other player will have a negative EV in this scenario. So, if the pot is $80, and hero holds the nut flush, then his EV may well be $200, whereas villain's EV is -$120.
