I am trying to find the approximate ev. of flatting different hands at various depths in order to find when the ev. of jamming is greater than flatting. Any suggestions on how to go about doing this without a very big sample size of hands on HEM?
The only way is to lean on someone with a sample. You're not going to be able to approximate it out very well just by trying to run through scenarios and stuff like that. It will obviously also vary dramatically with your opponent's tendencies.
OP - J8s is probably like 0EV from the start of the hand 20-25bb deep. J8o is like -0.5bb. (naturally, there's plenty of variation, too). You can use those to get a general sense of other hands.
I mean most of my sense of the numbers just comes from getting a general idea from a cluster of surrounding hands. J8s itself in my sample is like +0.9bb. You know why? Because J8s is a fantastic hand. I do even better when it's in diamonds.
I'll write a program to compute optimal stop-and-go strategies for the bb given a sb min raise range, but it'll require payment in the form of cookies.

Thanks for the offer if you are serious. But optimal play is not what I am going after here.
