Lets calculate then: 
 
Say I have button 3bet 8.5%, which might look sthg like this: TT+,ATs+,KTs+,QTs+,AJo+,KQo. 
 
Furthermore say I will bet -> get it in with the following range (~3.5%) 
Board: 3s 8s 5s 
 
	equity 	win 	tie 	      pots won 	pots tied	 
Hand 0: 	21.812%  	20.47% 	01.34% 	          7904 	      517.50   { JcJd } 
Hand 1: 	78.188%  	76.85% 	01.34% 	         29671 	      517.50   { JJ+, TcTs, TdTs, ThTs, AsKs, AsQs, AsJs, AsTs, KsQs, KsJs, KsTs, AsKc, AsKd, AsKh, AsQc, AsQd, AsQh, AsJc, AsJd, AsJh, AsTc, AsTd, AsTh } 
 
He will only have about 22% equity vs such a range. 
 
I will probably check back hands that have possible equity but are not good enough to get in. Like KxQs, KsQx, AxJs, ... Not sure exactly but I assume it is like 30% of the whole range. Lets discard any possible further betting in this scenario for simplification. 
 
Then I will most likely bluff bet -> fold hands that I think have very little equity. I think that is the remaining ~30%. (most likely I will just check/give up some of the time but lets discard that for simplification) 
 
So, 
in about 41% of times he will be allin with 22% equity. 
in about 30% of times it will probably gets checked to showdown and I will win like ~45% of times or so. 
in about 29% of times I will bet/fold and he will win $124. 
 
EV of c/r allin = 0.41 * (($1400 * 0.22) - 700) + 0.30 * (($129 * 0.55) - 60) + 0.29 * $124 = -161 + 3 + 36 = -$122. 
EV of check/fold = -$60 
Difference = $62 
 
Obviously ranges may differ a lot and it may be even good vs some players. Its definately much closer than I thought it was before making this calculation. 
 
(Edit: I didnt go over my calculations over again, so I am not claiming this is 100% correct.)  |
