Re: 2 overcards + small draws: Mathematically incorrect to call an all-in?
Since you're getting 2.27:1 on your call , you have to be successful 1/(1+2.27) = 29.6 % of the time by the river for the call to be worthwhile .
This is obviously the case here .
Also , if you have a 44 % chance of winning by the river , then you need (100-44):44 pot odds which is equivalent to 1.27:1 pot odds .
This should make sense because if you have a 50 % chance of winning , then all you need is (100-50):50 or 1:1 pot odds to break even .
