Default Re: help me with this ev calc/\'theory\' question

You're looking at the EV of the entire post-flop line from the moment villain raises you.
This means that you need to see everything you plan to do after being raised as one move and hence as one big calculation.

The only way your flop call becomes dead money in the calculation is if you start calculating EV of your turn move completely seperately from the flop decision.

So, to answer the questions:
1) The EV of calling flop to fold turn is $-4
2) We risked our call and bet to win the preflop & $6(your dead $1 bet and his $5 raise).
3) We risk flop call + turn shove to win it all baby.

In general, when you are calculating the EV of a multi-street plan, any betting you do as part of that plan is money you risk, not dead money.
