Default Re: Calling 3 cold preflop

I just wrote a really long post explaining why your math was wrong, but deleted it because I suddenly realised we were talking about different things.

I'm talking about the total pot size, and you're talking about the money that needs to be put in after the flop. Sorry for the misunderstanding. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

EDIT:

I realised we were talking about different so I wrote the above explanation, but one of us is still wrong.

If we assume the set wins 100% of the time, the pot needs to be 15BB at the river in order to break even (7.5:1 on the original 2BBs). Your calculations show it needs to be 17BB (4*5 = 20SB pre-flop + the 14SB you mention post-flop).

Do you know where this difference arises?

N.B. It's "immediate" odds. I know English isn't your first language.
