Default Re: Can some one do the math on this in this situation

You can't compute the EV of your call using pure math. The situation is way too complex, since the EV of a call depends both on your cards, your opponents' cards and on the poker skills of everyone involved. You have to use a combination of sound judgement and empirical data to estimate EV for these kind of problems. But mostly you simply want to know whether it's -EV or +EV, not the exact value.

I would say this is a +EV call if you play well after the flop, and I would also call here. You have to be careful if you flop top pair (since you have no kicker), but in my book K4s is clearly playable from BB under the conditions you describe.

Why don't you give us the rest of the hand, and maybe we can get a discussion going?
