Looking at some EV math for spots where you overbet the pot. For some reason I find it much more difficult to internalize than spots where you aren't overbetting the pot.
I usually just bruteforce these by solving
1-FE((s + p)(e) - s(1-e)) + FE(p) = $EV
HU pot
Fold equity =FE
Effective remaining stacks =s
Our equity in the pot =e
Pot size =p
What is our required fold equity on an all-in to reach a break-even EV?
Then I just do that until I find a fold equity that gives me EV =~ 0
I don't seem to be getting the right answer lol
Thoughts? Better ways?

This won't help you if you just wanted to do that math for fun and not for practical use.
If you bet pot as a bluff, villain needs to fold 50% to breakeven. If you bet double the pot as a bluff, villain needs to fold 66% to breakeven.
I dunno about you, but I usually limit my overbet bluffs to double pot, so everything else you just kinda eyeball it to be somewhere between 50 and 66%. |

Didn't check what you have there, but from scratch:
The breakeven point is when amount we win = amount we lose
So: (if we win when called) + (if he folds) = (if we lose when called)
=> e(1-FE)(s+p) + pFE = s(1-FE)(1-e)
Solve that and you should be good. |

Haha guys it's really useful to work this stuff out. Especially this FE equation - if you stick a few hands through it that you aren't sure about it can really open your eyes to certain points where you may not have realised how little fold equity you need for a semibluff to be profitable. Or indeed times when semibluffing is bad. Sometimes it's not obvious and even counterintuitive and that's another piece of edge you can use. |

cool, you can solve and substitute in what I did above, maybe something's gone wrong. gl... |

| Browsing through your hand histories makes me wonder that you might not be aware these games are possibly play money. Have you ever tried to cash out? - Kapol | |

FE = (e p - s + 2 e s)/(-p + e p - s + 2 e s)
Let G = e(2s + p). G represents our equity from all the money between the two players. Then:
FE = (G-s)/(G-s-p)
Then, you can calculate it quickly. Say effective stacks are 100bb.
G = e(200bb). Say our equity is 25% and the pot is 60bb.
FE = (50-70)/(50-70-60) = 25% |
