Default Re: Having a problem figuring out values of actions on a hand.

85% of the time you win 10.
15% of the time you lose 20.

.85*10 - .15*20 = 5.5

If you randomly bet then you randomly win an average of 5.5.

Realistically you'll win some of the time you're check/raised or you shouldn't be calling.

Other than my initial posting error, you are initially saying exactly what I said as a value, but this is more a game theory question in the fact that if you win 85% of the time, shouldn't there be a breaking point where either betting more than a certain % gives you no extra gain or little gain, and possibly even a loss?

I left this out of the equation as ancillary at best, because also, some of the times you bet you will not be called, among other things, which more than offsets the CR wins.
