EV JJ = .67(165) + .29(-370) + .04(390) = 18

No. If Player A folds his ace-jack suited (as we all agree he should) Player B wins $55. Thus the expectation for Player B from that point on is not what you show.

We are both wrong, B will win $110 preflop call plus $15 blinds = $125. So JJ EV = $10.


Please check the edit at the bottom of my previous post, I think it pretty much sums it up!

Also, I agree that the probabilities are off a little. But as stated this was done deliberately to account for possible rare scenarios which might be detrimental to Player A. (Good statisticians like to error on the conservative side.)

The chance of J flopping as well as A or Q by my calculations is 4% not 7%, making good AQ flops 29%. There are rare scenarios that are also great for A, J hits the flop and flush hits the turn!


The point of the whole post is 7-2 can be a preferable hand to even AA given the right pot odds and betting styles.
