Four to a Flush, post-flop, push all-in

[Tom22]

I like to thank everyone who responded especiallly Sossman and Indiana. I think both of your methods are sound and equivalent to each other.

Ddubois, there may be some flaws in your spreadsheet. I don't quite have the time to figure it out. For my own spreadsheet I used:

Pot: 1100
Min Stack:: 845
Fold %: 50
Win % if called: 43

I get an EV = 431.7

For your speadsheet you have a column called action to me. I assumed that your opponent has bet this amount. For these calculation purposes, you can include that amount in the pot. Then again, maybe my math is flawed.

I will playing an online tournament tonight, hopefully, I get a chance to use this new found strategy.

I generalized the formulas involved to handle both the case where there is a bet to me post-flop, and the case where I have to call some portion of the blind pre-flop. Thus action to me is a separate input from the pot. If you are talking about the post-flop case with a bet to you, what you enter for the pot amount should have included that bet amount (after all, it is in the pot). Similarly, his stack should be the size of his stack after his bet (or after his blind post).

Assuming you are first to act, thus 0 action to you:
.5*1100 + .5*.57*-845 + .5*.43*(1100+845) = 550 - 241 + 418 = +727 EV

Thanks ddbubois. I double checked your math and it is correct. I stand corrected.
