If four people call our bet, our equity will be 0.55*($25+4*$140), or $322. If only one person calls our bet (and we have, say, an 80% chance of winning heads up), our equity will be 0.80*(3*$25+2*$140), or $284. Our """EV""" is higher when we get more callers for a certain bet size.
Our percent chance of winning the hand goes down with more callers, but that doesn't mean we want fewer callers, since the size of the pot grows enough to make up for it. (Saying we should raise more to increase our chances of winning the hand sounds dangerously close to *gasp* sacrificing EV to reduce variance).
And we can always realize our equity by never folding at this SPR (~1).
