Mykey , you are wrong . The sb should be raising with hands 44 and up . The BB should be calling with hands 63 and up .

But this is still not accounting for bluffs, so that is also wrong, as I pointed out in my last post.

This is completely accounting for bluffs. The whole point is to choose a level that negates the gain by a bluff.

if the BB raises with 64+ and 63 1/8 of the time, then SB's EV for folding and raising with a 1 thru 62 is the same.

Fold = 0 EV
Raise = (61.875*1.5)-(37.125*2.5) = 0 EV


If the SB knows the BB will only call with 63 or higher, why would the SB Raise with 44 thru 62 when that's worse than folding with 44 thru 62?

The beauty of the BB calling with 63 1/8 of the time, and 64 or higher is that raising with less than 63 gains the SB nothing.

Correction to the 10x answer BB should fold with 1 thru 86 and 50% of the time with 87, and otherwise call.

I had an error in my previous calculations due to the conversion of a fold EV = 0 vs a fold EV of -0.5

I prefer the EV = -0.5, but I'll try to communicate using the fold EV = 0 "standard"
