Definition
Expected value is a risk vs reward analysis that illustrates how much we would expect to gain, on average, per hand, for a particular action.
The EV of a river call for instance, is:
EV = (Size of pot)*(Chance we win) – (Size of the bet)*(Chance we lose)
Example
Folding has an expected value of zero since money invested in the pot is no longer yours to consider.
