    Yeah, Even though, in the scenario, you are making three correct calls, overall you will be losing money by making three correct calls. ((270*0.35)-130) = -35.5



    You can use this too make more profitable decision on earlier streets by factoring in villains barrelling frequencies later streets. Of course, it isn't as simple as laid out in the scenario, as equity changes on later streets..I made an equity calculator which factored in adjusted equity needed in regards to barrelling frequencies, but I've just realised the calculations are wrong (in the calculator)

    very interesting!!! never thought about this before in a math sense

    Not sure how much it applies to a real situation but interesting nonetheless

    The flop and turn calls are not correct.. future action must be accounted for in EV calculations unless you're all in.

    Honestly it's a subject that I understand well, the problem is that it's hard to explain and even harder to quantify. ISF is right though in the laid out hypothetical; you are basically calling 130 into a 10 pot.
