Default Re: math quiz

Question 1: EV(pushing)= EV(win/opp call)+ EV(lose/opp call)+ EV(win/opp fold)

EV= .18(1-x)6k-.82(1-x)4k+xx*4k

x=30.5%

2. I'm home for the holidays so no pokerstove, if I had to guess:
a) AT+, 88+, maybe KQ
b) KJ+, A6+, 22+

3. Pot Odds: 7/4= 1.75
So we have to be good 1 out of 2.75 times to make calling correct. We have to be good 36.36% of the time to make calling correct. We are 10%(2/3) +81%(1/3)= 33% so calling is incorrect. To find out how often he needs to have 7x substitute x for 1/3 and 1-x for 2/3 and set equation equal to 36.36 and solve for x, I'm too lazy to do that right now, probably is going to be about 2/5 7x to make calling right.
