NLHE €.50 €1, 100bb effective
Hero SB AsKh
Villain BTN TsTh
Action: hand is folded to the button. Button raises 3bb. Pot is €4.50, villains stack is €97.
Hero 3bets €15. Pot is €19.50. Hero's stack is €84.50.
Villain shoves his remaining €97 all-in, making the Pot €116.50. Hero calls with his €84.50.
Hero is 43.5% underdog
Villain is 56.5% favourite
After calculating Hero's EV 116.5 * .435= 50.68, -84.5 * .56.5= -47.74 we have found out his EV is +2.94
Let's have a look at villains point of view. Pot is 19.50. Somehow miraculously villain knows 100% that hero will call all in bet. So villain is facing Hero's 3bet. Pot is 19.50 and hero has 84.50 left. This makes the potential (which we know will happen 100%) €104. That gives Villain 104/97. Let's see his EV.
104 * .565=58.76
-97 * .435= - 42.195
EV= +16.57
Now, isn't this rather strange? I mean, I understand that that is what the Pot offers to them both. But isn't this rather fallible way of calculating profit? The only external contribution was €1 from the BB. The rest is from the the 2 contestants, who both show +EV?? That is impossible. They cannot both show +EV. There must be an error somewhere.
Thanks everyone.
