Pot odds math question
Cross posted from beginners forum, didn't seem to be getting any replies.
Playing against a shortstack, want to make sure my math is correct for this call. PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) UTG ($15) MP ($14.75) CO ($11.70) Button ($25.85) SB ($11.90) Hero ($33.20) Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $0.25. UTG (poster) checks, 3 folds, <font color="red"> SB raises to $1.25</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, UTG folds, <font color="red">SB raises to $11.9</font>, Hero ? So, $15.65 in the pot, it costs me $8.40 to call. Since villain is a shorty we are getting better odds than with a full stack. It also means that his range is a little bit bigger. If I put him on TT+ even JJ+ we are looking at a 60:40 equity situation. 40% of the time I win $15.65. $15.65*0.4 = $6.26 60% I lose $8.40. $8.40*0.6 = -$5.04 Therefore, I am getting $6.26 - $5.04 = $1.22 sklansky bucks Look good? |

Re: Pot odds math question
Your math is fine, poker stove ftw.
Put him on a range and then do this: EV=(equity%)xfinalpotsize - money you put in. Also you have choosen the worst case scenario with villians range being TT+ I wouldn't be surprised to see weak aces, any two broadway and suited crap giving you and equity > 50% [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |
