View Full Version : Determing +EV for all-in

Anyone know of a program or method I can
use for determing when its profitable to push-all in
with a specific hand vs specific stack sizes.

For example: (4 handed BB 300...Random hand)
Hero: 1200
B :2000
C :4000
D :800


Now If I push all-in I risk being busted, or
I could wait out till player D goes busted.

How much would things change if we all had 2000?
Or is there not much difference until he has
maybe less than 2xBB?

Interesting chart, it tells you:

Suppose blind is 1/2 and you are in SB, your opponent can see your card (but you cannot see his, so his hand is random to you) and therefore make intelligent decisions, whether or not you should raise all-in with positive EV.

So the first line means: if you have 32o, and your remaining stack is less than 1.825, you should raise all-in. Let's verify: your opponent will call you with anything. Since your 32o wins 32.3% against a random hand, you are in a break-even EV situition risking 1.825 to win a 2.825*2=5.65 pot.
