Hi,

I have a specific question about calculating EV.

Let's say 3 players go all-in preflop in an NL10 cash game (all of them with $10), with the following hands:
3♣:4♣:
3♦:4♦:
3♠:6♠:

The equity calculator gives the following result:

How do I calculate the EV for each player?

For player1 ( 3♣:4♣: ) I would say something like:
EV = 0.0796 * [POTSIZE($30)] + 0.3519 * [????] - [STACKSIZE$(10)]

What do I put in the place of [????] how do I know that the tie happened between player1 and player2 or all three players? Depending on this the value should be different.

Thanks

Hi SleeD,
I don't know how to do this precisely using mathematics.
For stuff like this I rely on Equilab

That tools gives this as:

       Equity     Win     Tie
MP2    22.17%   7.96%  14.22% { 4c3c }
MP3    22.17%   7.96%  14.22% { 4d3d }
CO     55.66%  48.90%   6.76% { 6s3s }

I've never used the PokerTracker Equity calculator, so I wouldn't know where to go from the scenario you show.

All the best,
VS

Hi VorpalF2F,

Thank you for your help.
It turns out the PT4 calculator gives the same result for equity if I turn off the "Display ties" option.

I've managed to calculate what I needed.

Cheers
