53% of +$1,609
47% of -$1,492
EV = +$152

EV of calling flop, planning on folding turn if board pairs, calling otherwise

17.10% chance board pairs on turn, and fold to villain's bet (EV = -$454.2)
33.16% chance board does not pair, turn hits my draw, and all $ goes in (EV = $831.90)
49.74% chance board does not pair, turn blanks, and I call villain's PSB (EV = -$256.32)

EV of this line = +$73.75
___________________________

Not only is EV of line 1 > line 2, but it was making all sorts of assumptions like villain has set 100% of time, villain would def call off my turn PSB if my draw comes in, % board pairs turn goes check/check and I pay off a river bet, etc., etc., all of which would reduce EV of line 2 futher.

Getting it all in on flop seems clear-cut winner.

Felt a need to re-hash this thread (as a result of http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/15...wrong-1532281/) , since these numbers are so wrong.


We have a few options here.
First, we can choose to GII on the flop. Our EV in that scenario, assuming opponent has top set, is (.5232)($1725) - (.4768)($1381.2) = $243.964
Note: $1725 value from winning is equal to current pot size ($343.8) + villain's stack ($1381.2), which equals $1725. Amount lost is equal to villain's current stack size ($1381.2)

OR, we can choose to wait until the turn. In this case, several different scenarios develop (NOTE: THESE EV Calculations are all from FLOP perspective):

1.) We hit, he hits: 0% (we can't both have the same outs)

2.) We hit, he doesn't hit: 42.222% (19 outs/45 cards left)
EV: (% chance winning)(Amount if win) - (% chance losing)(Amount if lost) = (.4222)[(.785)(1725) - (.215)(1381.2)]
= (.4222)($1057.17)=$446.359

3.) We don't hit, he hits: 13.333% (6 outs [we have a T in hand]/45 cards left). We lose the $348 call on the flop.
EV: (.13333)(-$348) = $-45.839

4.) We don't hit, he doesn't hit: 44.444% (20 outs/45 cards left)
Chance of winning in this scenario = 42.69%, SO
EV: (.44444)[(.4269)(1725) - (.5731)(1381.2)] = -$55.16322

Total EV if we wait until turn is ($446.359-45.839-55.16322) = $376.00

Clearly, the better option is to wait until turn.

Thank you Devil, this is extremely helpful.

Even more so in that you demonstrated how the EV calculations are to be constructed. A simple matter for some, but my grey matter is getting a little long in the tooth.

Much obliged, if you find yourself in a PLO game in Calgary, I owe you a beer.

All the best,
Flux

#2 assumes he always calls on turn when we hit right? he doesnt always call

there's a lot of assumptions made with those calcs that weights it towards calling being better than it actually is and calling is still only slightly better EV wise. That's why the obvious choice is to GII OTF.

ok I understand this is an old thread and maybe people didn't know how to do math in 2010 but how has no one commented on how the first guy supposedly opened to $30 at a $3/6 game "250bb deep"
