Default Did I do this problem right?

Ok so here is the hand

Poker Stars
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
6 players
Converter

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises to $1.5</font>, Button calls, SB folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $6</font>, CO calls, Button folds.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ($13.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $13</font>, <font color="#cc0000">CO raises all-in $30.2</font>, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $17.2 returned to CO.

Results:
Final pot: $39.75



I am trying to figure out what equity I need in pokerstove verses his range to make a breakeven call. Here is what I did

Ok so the pot is aprox 57$

And its 17$ to call

17/57=.298

so I need to have about a 30% equity vs my opponents range to make a breakeven call. Correct?

No wrong. Forget all the game theory/equity nonsense and get back to basics. You can't see the wood for the trees.

The guy had one spade and you should have called. End of.

<font color="#FF4444">[*] </font> Nah. Your are getting 17 - 57 odds on your call. That is the amount you gotta call vs. everything in the pot. To translate this into equity you do the following: 17/(17+57) = 0.23.
