For one thing, I don&#039;t win Villain&#039;s full $1378, because I have only $1054 left in my stack on the river. The converter shows the final pot to be $2670, and I double-checked that this is correct. $341 on the turn + $225 contributed by the guy who folds river + $1054 from me + $1054 from Villain = $2670. The equity I need is bet/(pot +bet), or 827/2670 = 31%. 

Your equation works as well. The pot before my call is $1843, divided by $827 is 2.23. 1/3.23 = 31%.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[where are you getting $2,667 from in your calculation?  the size of the pot entering the turn is $341 then the action goes:  BB bets $225, Hero calls $225 and MP ships $1,387.  after MP ships the total pot is:  $341 + $225 + $225 + $1,387 which totals $2,178.

so Hero needs to risk $827 to win $2,178.  the way i compute equity is 2,178/827 which equals 2.63.  now i add one to this 2.63 figure and divide by one for this equation:  1/3.63 which comes to 27.5.  so we need at least 27.5% equity to correctly call.

don&#039;t want to go off on a tangent as i&#039;m not really discussing the play of the hand but please correct me if i&#039;m wrong.]]></description>

Notice that Villain had me covered, so the amount I called was less than the amount of his shove. I called 827 and won 2667. 

827/2667= .310086.]]></description>
