Default Pokerstove tutorial

The following question was on another forum. I am not looking so much for the answer to the question (give a man a fish), I am more interested in how to use Pokerstove to answer the question (teach a man to fish). I have yet to find a good pokerstove tutorial for multiple ranges - does one exist?

Here is the problem:

ou have QQ on a board of rags. You need to call $100 into a pot currently containing $250 (2.5:1). You put your opponent on AA, KK, JJ, AK or a bluff.

70% that they have AA or KK which beats you.
20% that they have JJ or AK which you beat.
10% they are running a stone cold bluff which you beat.

Call or fold???

thank you

Default Re: Pokerstove tutorial

I'll assume all-in so no more bets and we see the river.

QQ has 2.5:1 odd so you need about 29% hand equity for the call to be correct.

vs AA,KK - 8%
vs JJ,AK - 79%
vs bluff - 100% (or slightly less)

Given your probabilities of the above scenarios our total hand equity is:

(70% x 8%) + (20% x 79%) + (10% x 100%) = approx. 31%

My calculation is that the call is correct but not by much becuase I did some rounding.
