Default Just trying to make sure I\'m doing this right...

4 handed, and first to act folds.

I'm next, and I only have the blinds left.

I know that the SB will call me 16% of the time, and the BB will call me 12% of the time (I realize I'm not going to know exact percentages, but I want to use one number).

So, if I push, I will get a fold 74% of the time. I'm hoping someone can check my math, as I will provide my work below:

100-16=84 The SB
100-12=88 The BB
.88*.84=.7392.
1-.7392=.2608, or 26% of the time they will call.
Of course, they WON’T call 74% of the time.

Is this how you do it?

If you assume that the big blind and small blind call independently, then that's correct. Because the big blind gets to see the small blind's action before he chooses what to do, odds are you'll see more calling than that.
