Default CORRECTION

Duh. Thanks Dave. The right side of the pot odds ratio is the amount I have to put in and I don't include that in the left hand side of the ratio.

If the current pot is 9.5 SB's (4.75 BB's) then isn't the amount you can win in a showdown with your opponent betting to the end (excluding what you have to put in yourself) 6.75 BB's? The rest of your pot is your own money that you haven't put in yet before this decision. For the amount that you win, I would think it should be:
I win (.27 x 6.75 BB's = 1.8225).

With the net result:

Total: +1.8225 - 1.825 = -.0025 BB's

So that's close enough to zero that our original estimate of 25% that JJ is good also happens to be the breakeven point. So against certain types clearly not correct to call and against others clearly so.
