The best thing for your poker career would be for you to go to http://propokertools.com/simulations?g=he and learn how +EV calling would have been.
Poker is math.
Let's flip coins. If it's heads I'll give you 2 dollars, if it's tails you give me one dollar. We flip the coin once, it's tails, and you say I'm quitting this game.
First - I already posted I made a mistake. Twice I think actually.
Second - Poker is math we agree.
Third - This is learning from my mistakes.
I have been meaning to run equity calcs but life has interfered so here goes.

*******Equity*****Win*****Tie
UTG****32.32%**21.72%**10.60%*{ KQs, 87s, KQo, 87o }
MP2****35.31%**34.91%***0.40%*{ TdTs }
CO*****32.37%**21.77%**10.60%*{ KQs, 87s, KQo, 87o }
There is $75 in the pot. Plus EP $44+my$44+CO$44 for $207. I am putting in $44 to win $207 (assuming BTN station folds w/e i forgot about him for this). Clearly I want to make this bet all day long. And I undervalued this equity considerably.
Side pot - assuming GII in all circumstances

MP2****35.21%**34.09%***1.13%*{ TdTs }
CO*****64.79%**63.66%***1.13%*{ KQs, 87s, KQo, 87o }
I am putting $240 to win $480 for 1-1. I need 50% equity here right? I am short 15% - maybe less if we widen his range to include 99 and a few huge combo draws but my read is this is his range. In game my thought was 70-30 dog needing 50% on the majority of my stack - no way I am making that up. I obv did not go into this level of detail nor realize or think about the $75 already in the pot.
I definitely need to be better at this plus if BTN station comes along with his $60 or so I pick up equity there. It is a learning process and i think this helps me understand - sets = gii.
thanks for your comments
