Hero folds?

if you're up against 3 gutshots that's around 26% in cumulative equity.

And if 3 gutshots overcall the potsize has nearly doubled. Risking losing 4BB 26% of the time vs. winning 3BB 74% of the time sounds like a good deal to me.

if your raise mangages to fold another ace you gain the equity of 2 king outs, 4 queen outs and 2 ace outs(that's 17% equity).

[/ QUOTE ]

Except you don't lose the entire pot against those hands so it's functionally more like half that.

[ QUOTE ]
if your raise folds out a pp, a gutshot and another ace you've gained their 30% in equity

[/ QUOTE ]

At the expense of 3BB! That's a lot compared to what you're protecting. And that's assuming more than one of the opponents behind you is even drawing live, often they're not.

on the flip side, planning on folding to a 3bet is giving up 5% of your equity the times your against trips or a FH.

There's also a non-negligible chance you get 3bet by an A that sucks at poker.

[ QUOTE ]
when the pot gets a certain size, it is more to your benefit to win it immediately

Agree but if you think 4-6BB is worth protecting from 2 and 4 outers you need to rethink your math.
