Default theoretical calculation

I'm not very good at math and I tried to search, but couldn't find anything. If I'm a 60% favorite to win on the flop, how do I calculate how much theoretical money I've won (per hand) regardless of the results.

Default Re: theoretical calculation

In a heads-up situation, if you expect to win the pot 60% of the time, you would expect over the long-run to take in an average of 60% of the pot (assuming no possibility of a split).

Assuming you have put 50% of the money into the pot already, your expected profit is (60%-50%=) 10% of the pot size.
