    ^^this will help

    A good example:

    Assume for arguments sake that AA vs 66 is exactly 80/20.

    Let's say you are in a MTT, and the starting stacks are 1500. You hold AA. Someone shoves and somehow you know they have 66. You call.

    4/5 of the time you'll end up with 3000.
    1/5 of the time you'll end up with 0.

    On average, you'll end up with 2400.

    Therefore your call was +EV by 900 chips (+cEV 900)

    Hope that helps!

    thanks! so to determine your ev you put your opponent on a hand, (or range of hands? ) could you give me an example of a +EV situation where you hold say... 1010, and put your opp. on Ak?
