maybe someone with poker stove can do the math and show my equity on the flop when against one guy with a completely random hand vs three players, one withg a random hand and two players with say low pairs or overs.

i don't mind if both call because my EV with just straight outs is slightly positive, but my pot equity is a lot less.

the final pot with both of those guys folding was $325. my equity against his exact hand is 54% or $175, but against his full range, i think my equity is higher.

say i just call, the pot is still $325, but the other guys are still in the hand and my pot equity is only probably around 36%. if i let them hang out and the turn blanks, then my equity drops to less than 20%.

there's some merit to calling and trying to make more money from them if i hit, but i don't think they have good enough hands that i can seriously see getting paid off. i need to play it strong now, while i have an edge.
