Default Re: Raising vs. checking a small pocket pair in the BB vs large field

EV of a raise = (.12) * <font color="red">16</font> + (.87) * -1 = 1.92 - .87 = 1.05

The 16 should be a 15. You can't win your raise. In other words, when you win you will have 15 more units than you started the hand with (after posting). In addition, your percentages are rounded off a bit. You will flop a set/full house or quads 11.76% of the time.

EV(raising) = (.1176)*(15) + (.8824)*(-1) = .8816
EV(checking) = (.1176)*(8) = .9408
