Default Re: Analysis


i figured it out! i did an ev calc and finally solved this problem! first of all, we have to adhere to the scenario mason described. forget about the preflop call AQs has already made. given that there's $315 of dead money by default in the pot, AQs has HUGE ev from the flop onward:

AQs will put money into the pot when behind only 7% of the time! and only $225 when he does so. HOWEVER, he'll be ahead 26% of the time, in which cases he'll win the $225 AND the $315 in the pot! the other 2/3rds of the time he'll simply fold and not lose another cent!
