first let me say, wow. lol I had to write it out on paper to fully understand what you were saying.
im still a little confused about why we are setting EV(3bet) to zero. what is that percentage? I mean I understand how why you need to know it to fully solve my original question, but what does that number represent? our break-even equity on the flop? our equity by the river? or is that how often I will win regardless of my holdings? thanks for taking the time to go through this with me btw.
