    Default PStove question: not understanding

    Okay so i made some ridiculous fold in the Gauntlet today somewhat as a joke because i thought someones range was QQ+, 88-77, and rarely 44, and i was 100% sure of that. Thinking my hand is crushed against 88/77/QQ/44, and i am only slightly ahead of AA/KK, i folded thinking my equity was worse than 30%. I did the range, Monte Carlo, on Poker stove and found that i was flipping against that range to my amazement. when i just evaluated it came to i was ahead about 54/46.

    Is pokerstove wrong? There calculation here seems way off. Is it just mathematically way more like for them to have AA/KK here?

    Well if 88,77, and 44 are sets then it is mathematically more likely for them to have AA or KK...

    That seems off though

    Wow yeah 50% equity i wouldnt have thought that. I guess the cards out make sets less likely for him plus you have 2 outs if he did flop a set.

    In reality I think you have to widen his range a little lol. Why cant he have AQ here sometimes? plus the fact it's the gauntlet and he could be running some crazy bluff cos it looks like yr drawing.

    I get almost exactly 50/50

    6 ways to have QQ+ = 18

    3 ways to have the sets except 44 = 7

    So you are usually ahead, but I assume you knew that.

    I think this is your problem:

    and i am only slightly ahead of AA/KK
    Board: 4c 8h 7d Qc
    Dead:

    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 18.182% 18.18% 00.00% 432 0.00 { AA }
    Hand 1: 81.818% 81.82% 00.00% 1944 0.00 { Q4s, Q4o }



    equity win tie pots won pots tied
    Hand 0: 49.318% 49.32% 00.00% 3906 0.00 { QQ+, 88-77, 44 }
    Hand 1: 50.682% 50.68% 00.00% 4014 0.00 { Q4s, Q4o }

    yeah why the hell did you think 8 outs on the river is like 40% equity, running bad?
  8. #8
    yea theres 6 ways to have AA but only 3 ways to have 77, and you have a blocker to QQ and 44.

    Hmmmm thanks guys, I guess i was way more ahead of AA/KK than i thought. I also didn't take how few sets there were in to account.
