Assuming the formula in the book is wrong, I think someone mentioned this is a mistake earlier and it needs to be updated in the OP. I'll make it a goal to look over the thread again next week and have a mod update it, I've been trying to wait until there are a few mistakes to update before bothering a mod.
I actually had the question, "Why are we multiplying what we win when villain folds 50% of the time by .50 again in the formula", typed up in my post but deleted it cause I wasn't sure and figured it was a stupid question.
In other words: We win +17.25 bbs when villain folds 50% of the time. (34.5)(.50)= 17.25
Then we plug that number into the equation and don't multiply it by .50 again? So 17.25 + (.50)(-16.4) = 9.05 So our overall expectation for 5bet shoving would be +9.05bbs given the assumptions is said in my earlier post?
Also since the formula in the book was wrong, does that mean the tables on pages 48-50 are wrong also?
Edit: Went through a couple of situations in the tables and looks like the tables are correct.
