Default Re: +EV both players coin flip?

[ QUOTE ]
I am by no means an expert on equity and EV but I just thought about this the other day and I was wondering if it is correct.

Say an UTG raise to 4BB in early position then 3 callers.
Total is 12BB. Button 3bets to 12BB. Your big blind and shove all in for 100BB with AKs. everyone folds except button who calls 100BB and he turns over QQ. The pot is 212BB and you both have ~50% equity. Isn't this +EV poker for both of you?

A more extreme example of this would be in a 3bet pot followed by a 4bet and 5bet allin only to have the 3better fold and the 4better and 5better all in (only to find out they are flipping) The 4better and 5better would share the raisers and 3betters chip loss and make it +EV for both of them.

Sorry to make this last example confusing.

Your math is wrong!!!!
AKs vs QQ = 54/46

From final 212BB pot 3BB goes to the rake so when you win you win 109BB make it 100 all ins

46x109=5014BB won
54x100=5400BB lost

Final result -386BB down in 100 flips.
