At start loved your explanation.

Something that im confused about at the start is you puit villain on a 4betting calling shove range of AQ+/TT+.
I just dont necessarily agree with that and think that his range would more be QQ+/Ak or JJ+/AK as hands like TT and AQ would rather just defend to those 3bets (especially without history)

Am I thinking about this correctly?
If that is the case we would need to increase our fold equity to 43% which is a huge difference, and is where I really face tough spots as I cannot ever seeing having 43% equity if we 5bet shove.

Can I hear your thoughts on this....

Your calc on the EV of hero shoving is wrong.

You have the tie percentage as a decimal as 0.104 when it's actually 0.0104. Also, 428*0.3925 is 167.99, so we should round that to 168. Also, 167-212+3 = -42, not -45. That changes the math to:

168-212+0.3=-44

So it's a clear fold then!

It changes nothing because the two mistakes just happened to even each other out

I think you're right. I don't think it makes much of a difference: I was just trying to show the methodology more than anything else, and that range was reasonably close enough to give a good sense of how much fold equity you need. Keep in mind he could 4bet call it off with KQ or 99 also: there's no clear answer as to what his range is, so i just picked one to illustrate the math

The concepts are way more important than actually getting all the #s right Poke Tongue

This video is pure gold. Foxwood you are one of the best instructors on any coaching site I've been so far.

I also agree that to become a great player you need to understand those numbers and have them kinda in your head but too many including myself are too lazy to do that much of work =)

Keep the great videos coming!

I was just wondering if someone could convert the equations to a Excel sheet so we just could put in the numbers and get the equity?
My math knowledge isn't good enough to free X from the X*42+(1-X)(-91) equation. So it is enough if someone could solve just that part, then I can probably fix the excel sheet myself.

[Takes so much time to do all the calculations by hand when I want to test out different scenarios]

Great video!
