Preflop equity

If we are putting in e.g. 50 % of the money preflop with an average rake of 5 %, then our equity would need to be above 52,6 %, right? And the edge would need to be less than 2,6 % the more multiway the pot is.

Now, how much of an edge do you think we need if we call in the big blind, considering that we are out of position?

You aren't putting in half the money. The blind money doesn't count since it's already committed to the pot. You're getting 3.5-1 in your situation, so you don't need any edge to call. There's potentially lots more bets that can go in after the flop so I wouldn't be thinking about this in terms of equity anyway.

I know that. I just made a theoretical example when talking about the impact of the rake.


So, I guess it all comes down to how bad or good the opponents are postflop...
