Profit calculations...

Big blind holds Jc Th. Button holds Ad Qc.
Flop is Qh 9d 4s.


..... * Betting out adds 4 small bets, for a total of 8.5 bets in the pot.
* Betting out wins an average of (.342 * 8.5) = 2.907 small bets/hand for a profit of .907 small bets.
* Check-raising adds 6 small bets, for a total of 10.5 bets in the pot.
* Check-raising wins an average of (.342 * 10.5) = 3.591 small bets/hand for a profit of only .591 small bets.




how do they get the profit of .591 and .907? In one hand they dropped the 3 and in the other they dropped the 2.

Later on they say:


* Betting out wins an average of (.563 * 8.5) = 4.786 small bets/hand (2.786 profit.)
* Check-raising wins an average of (.563 * 10.5) = 6.615 small bets/hand (3.615 profit.)


they subtract 3 from one and 2 from the other.

Please explain why they do that.

They are subtracting the bets hero has put into the pot.

total - cost = profit.

Thankyou mr. obvious.

Eh nevermind I figured it out. I was including the bets put in PF in my calculations and that is not the way to look at it.
