Let's say you get called 50% of the time and you're a 2.5-1 dog on average (when you get called). I think this is very generous. I don't think the numbers are that good for you but let's go with them!

If you fold you lose $12.

If you push:
50% of the time you win $67
14.3% of the time you win $197
35.7% of the time you lose $142
-------------------------------------
average win of $11

again, the numbers probably are not this good for you but i think the play is fine as long as you don't do it very often.

If that's the only thing you see wrong with this post, you're not looking hard enough.

Do you mean info is missing or my play is awful? Or both?

Probably both. I can live with that. If I thought the play was perfect, I never would have posted it...

Sorry, for being a jackass about my earlier response, but I didn't feel like going over it, because I felt that the errors in your logic were obvious, and that you would see them when you looked at it again.

I think that these assumptions are pretty bad. You admit to them being generous, but nonetheless....

a) When he's NOT putting a squeeze on us (which most players are not), he often has a big pair, in which case, we are about a 4:1 dog.
b) Even when he IS putting a squeeze on us, we are often behind (maybe dominated), and it will be difficult for him to fold getting fantastic odds.
c) You are ignoring SB (although, i do feel that he's usually not a factor)

Don't include your prior action when doing an EV calc.

My off the cuff response was based on a traditional EV calc, not your wacky "results from folding vs. results from pushing" calc.


I did an EV calc, but came up with exactly the same thing MrFeelNothin did.

So, GIVEN YOUR ASSUMPTIONS, a push is marginally correct. However, I feel your assumptions are bogus.

My assumptions would be that we get called more often (say 75-80%), and that we have worse equity on average. (Say 3:1)

If you fold you lose $0.

If you push:
50% of the time you win $79
14.3% of the time you win $209
35.7% of the time you lose $173
-------------------------------------
average win of $7.63

again, the numbers are nowhere near this good for you but i think the play is horrible.

Hate to do it but...FYP
