Why HEM EV isnt 100% "correct"
I was feeling like crap when I was running like shit (under EV @ HEM)
Theses days, im feeling a little bit guilty to run ABOVE EV @ HEM
BUT, here the proof its somewhat rigged. When you play, you play vs a range, right ? HEM doesnt really seem to see it that way. JMO
According to HEM, with 93,1% Equity, its Minus EV to get it in (- 16,73$ ! )

its not -ev, you won 17 more than your equity was

Im not sure I understand what you are trying to say duffte. Are we arguing in the same way ?
Lets do the math (bare with me, I dont do them normally)
To be honest, Im not sure where to start !
Anyway, I think we agree its not supposed to be minus EV, altought HEM say it is.

You have 93.1% eq. Your opponent have 6.9%, and this is the EVmoney that HEM says you are not expected to win.

Yeah Hem isn't saying it's -EV to get it in, it's saying when you win (+$120) you ran $17 over EV... because getting it has an EV of $103 or something.

pot: 242,80
eq: 93,1
your share (x) = pot * eq = 226,05
EVmoney = x - pot = 226,05 - 242,8 = -16,75 (~16,73)
So you have won 16,73 more then you should have won
The important point is the EQ. If >50% then +ev, but even if EQ <50% your play can be +ev given FE vs the range of your opponent.

Ahhh ! There you go !
Got it, Thank to all, pretty simple.
So this $EV is not reflecting the actual EV or the move.
Also it doesnt really take into account the dynamic, etc

doesn't really shows everything in detail, but I think you can get some out of it and how to interpret the $ev
