Scenario A) You raise to $150, and get 2 callers. Let's say for the sake of argument you all have an equal shot at winning the pot. Your equity in this pot is 150+150+150+90=540/3=$180
Scenario B) You raise to $205 all in, and get 1 caller. See above. Your equity in this pot is 205+205+90=500/2=$250.
Again, this is more than an oversimplification, this is just trying to explain the concept to you since you seem to be missing it.
