Mad Hammer Skillz

This isn't the best move I've ever made, but I can't help but be proud when the Hammer wins a big pot.

Full Tilt Poker, $5/$10 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 2 Players
LeggoPoker.com - Hand History Converter

SB: $1,433.50

Hero (BB): $1,332.75

Pre-Flop: 2 7 dealt to Hero (BB)
SB raises to $30, Hero raises to $100, SB calls $70

Flop: ($200) 5 3 4 (2 Players)
Hero bets $150, SB raises to $375, Hero raises to $1,232.75 and is All-In, SB calls $857.75

Turn: ($2,665.50) K (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


River: ($2,665.50) 6 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


Results: $2,665.50 Pot ($0.50 Rake)
SB showed 3 3 (three of a kind, Threes) and LOST (-$1,332.75 NET)
Hero showed 2 7 (a straight, Seven high) and WON $2,665 (+$1,332.25 NET)

EV(push)=.75(-1,083) + .25(1583)
=-778.5+395.75
=-382.75

Woops.

it's even worse than you think...should be:

EV(push)=.75(-1,083) + .25(1683)

you don't get to count the money that you put in when you shove as net winnings when you win it back....
