When you have K2, you can profitably pay up to $114.34 to see your opponent's cards. The information would be worth about $24 more if your cards are J7, by Pzhon's calculations.

Check Pzhon's method. With T9, though it's a calling hand, he uses EV when he's ahead, rather than when he's behind.

T9s is about a 68.0% favorite over the 543 hands including nonpairs up to T-high and pairs up to 66. 44.3% of the time, T9s gets a gamble worth $360, for a value of about $160.

T9s wins about 54.0% against a random hand for an expected win of $80.

The value to T9s is about $160-$80 = $80.
