    Anyways, this is a good spot to fold. You're not hitting your flush enough to make this profitable. The following is from spoon's thread about calling all-ins: http://www.flopturnriver.com/pokerfo...ll-173396.html

    EV = (our equity)(pot size) - (our opponents equities)(bet size)
    EV = (.244)(15.3) - (.756)(5.35)
    = 3.73 - 4.04
    = -0.31

    Hope I did the maffs right.

    Think about it logically. How can you lose 31.14 on average when you are only calling 5.35?

    24.4 and 75.6 are percentages, so change them to 0.244 and 0.756 in your equation.
