When you say EV(f) = 0 by definition you ignore the times you fold the best hand. In the example above Hero will be folding the best hand with 10% prob. That negative value has to...

Re: MPMK awkward river
I understand what you guys are saying, I'm just being a nit about the usage of the term "expected value".
The EV of folding is always 0, so how could it be better to bet if betting is -EV?

Re: MPMK awkward river
I don't get it. If all options are -EV you should fold.
I guess what you are trying to say is that it is not a value bet (we lose more than 50% time when called). But it is still +EV!

1/2 TPGK in 3bet pot get raised on turn
Button is a 25/15/3 reg who I've played a lot (almost 1k hands) with. Possibly a 2+2er. We usually stay out of each other's way. He respects my raises and I respect his. BB is a donk.
Now this...

Re: common SB vs. BB Spot
