Let's just say that the aggressive dude has a flush here. How much of a mistake are we making by going to war?

EV = .227*16BB - 4BB = - .37BB

Now lets just say that we have the best hand and currently have 66% equity.

EV = .66*16BB - 4BB = + 6.56 BB

Do you see why going crazy here isn't such a bad thing. If we are behind we are making a small mistake. If we are ahead it is a winfall for us.

So if we are ahead even 10% of the time, we make like .35 BB by going to war.
