The more I think about this, the more I am hating myself for this fold. Does anyone know how to do the EV calculations that would find out how much villian has to have the straight here?
I'll try -
First pot odds
pot is 27+10+45+148 = 230
103 to call
Pot with call = 333
103 to win 230 2.23:1 odds which means I need 45% equity.
So when I'm ahead we'll say he has five outs (OESD=8 outs,AA+2 outs, KJ=2 outs). This is debatable, I'm mostly just trying to work on my math.
So...
If he has the straight - I have 10 outs = ~20% equity
If he doesn't - he has 5 outs = ~90% equity
% of time I'm ahead(X)(90%)(333) - 103 =
% of time I'm behind(Y)(20%)(333) - 103 =
When the sum of the two = 0 that's the smallest percentage that he needs to be ahead.
{(X)(.9)(330)-103} + {Y(.2)(330)-103} = 0
194X + -37Y = 0
194X = 37Y
5.24X = Y
~84%
It also looks like he could have JJ or KK, meaning I don't on average have 10 outs.
Ok, so how am I actually suppose to make these calculations?

This post is ENTIRELY wrong. It's actually very funny.
I don't have time to elaborate.
But just a hint. if the pot is 230. and u have 103 to call. U are right that the odds are 2.23 - 1 BUT the EQUITY you need in this case is much less than 45%.
It is 31%.
Another thing. UTG had $203 to start the hand. He puts $8 Pre-Flop and $10 on the turn. So he has arround $180 remaining. Not $148.
I know i wasn't usefull for the answer. But there are just some basic hints. I don't have time to elaborate further.
