Re: A Quick Challenge on Preflop Equity; No Cheating!
[ QUOTE ]
I would just call preflop. I don't mind having more players in the pot when I'm holding JTs.

agreed. from a strict equity standpoint, calling is likely the most profitable play.
there might be some circumstances that would add value to jamming preflop(increased fold equity, possible free card on the flop, etc.), but when you are at a minimum 4-handed the risk of this usually doesn't outweigh the benefits of cold-calling(preserve implied odds, encourage SB and BB to enter, etc.).
fwiw, my guess was as follows:
JTs: 26%
77: 25%
AKs: 35%
random/BB: 14%
it's good to think of situations like this and try to estimate your equity. it allows you to better assess in action at the table and plan the best course of action with your holding.
as far as i know, there's not really any simple "calculation" to figure these equities. it's more of an educated guess that comes with stoving/evaluating these types of situations away from the table.
