Strange EV main/side pot

Postby Iván_Suited » Sat Apr 04, 2020 1:58 am

Hi,

I have noticed that when I go all-in and other players keep playing the sidepot, PT4 doesn't take my EV of the moment I went all-in. In my opinion, it doesn't make sense because I am not "playing the hand anymore". I attached several examples. Thank you.

In a hand like this (where a player is all-in preflop but other players are not) net adjusted results are not calculated.
When there is an all-in preflop if the other players are not all-in preflop then they have the option to act postflop, and this means that sometimes one of them will fold. Having the option to fold after another street is dealt means that in the long run there will be more strong hands which get to showdown and less weak hands. If we were to calculate net adjusted results in hands like this it would introduce a systematic bias (because there will be more known strong hands), so we exclude all hands like this from net adjusted calculations.
