Re: Pages 36 & 18

I have a question, too. I don't understand the bottom of page 124. It seems like Y's pot equity - when Y is called - is rated as 3/5 and X's as 2/5. But I don't get it, as X is in the pot with better hand, shouldn't it be 3.5/5 for X and 1.5 for Y?
Before the last equations it is even said "would be able to beat it", but after the calculations show that Y wins every time he pushes with 0.3 and better, while in reality he wins only 50% of those jams.
Nobody seems to have noticed that so far, so it's probably just a blackout on my part and I don't see the light. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

In that section we're discussing the threshold hand x. So in the example there, where Y jams with 50% and X jams 30%, when X is at his threshold (in this case 0.3), then Y wins all those hands.
If we were talking about the equity of the game or something, you'd be right - when both players are below 0.3, they would each win 50%. But we're talking about making X indifferent at his threshold hand. Hence Y always beats him when below this hand.
