The hand below is more an example than what I am truly hoping to understand.
I have heard a lot of people say that the normal with AK is get play for stacks and I would love to understand the math behind that.
Using the below situation.
Villain shoves for 108.8 BB
Hero has the option to call for 83.8BB (108.8 - 25)
After calling the total pot would be 0.4 + 1 + 3 + 108.8 + 25 + 83.8 = 222BB
This means the pot odds on the call is 83.8 / 222 = 37.74%
If I assign a range to villain of QQ+, AKs, AKo. Then with AhKd I have 38.82% equity.
So with pot odds being less than equity then I can call?
Assuming the range assigned to villain is correct?
