Message: [QUOTE="F Paulsson, post: 390021, member: 6979"] No, it would not be positive EV. You have 9 outs, giving you about 20% chance to hit your flush on the river. I'm presuming here that you will not win if you bluff, of course, so the only chance for you to take down this pot is to get your flush. You could then say that your [I]equity[/I] in this pot is 20%. For every dollar that goes in at this point, you get to keep 20% of it. However, since there are only three of you in the pot, for every dollar that goes in, you pay 33 cents, but only get to keep 20. It's a losing proposition. Of course, your pot odds definitely warrant staying in, but you should try to get to the river as cheaply as possible. [/QUOTE]
