hard · Poker Theory Fundamentals
In a three-way pot, an opponent (Player A) makes a theoretically 'perfect' fold against your large bet. How does this impact your EV compared to a heads-up scenario?
- Your EV remains unchanged if the second opponent (Player B) also plays perfectly.
- You lose expectation because Player A made no error.
- You gain expectation through equity redistribution from the folding player.
- You only gain if Player A's fold was actually a mistake.
