However, the term All-in EV is technically incorrect because EV (Expected Value) is calculated by using at the equity of our hand versus our opponent's range of hands as opposed to the exact hand they had in this situation. It is calculated by subtracting the total amount you bet from your equity in the pot. Both terms describe the calculation of what the result would be if no more cards were to be dealt and instead each player was returned their equity in the pot in all-in situations. This guide will discuss the differences between the terms, why the change was made, and how to interpret graphs which use these stats.īefore we start, we have to understand the difference between both of these terms. To replace All-In EV in PokerTracker 4, we have introduced a new concepts called 'All-in Equity' and 'All-In Equity Adjusted Winnings' which better represents the functionality of the stat while improving accuracy. With the advent of PokerTracker 4, we have moved away from using the terms 'EV' and 'All-in EV' because the terminology for these phrases are misleading, they do not truly represent Expected Value because these are results oriented stats rather than forward projecting stats.

At this time, software cannot accurately determine an opponents range of possible hands, therefore EV calculation could only be performed in scenarios where all players are effectively all-in the terminology All-In EV was born from this adjustment. Expected Value is a forward projection of winnings which incorporates the range of hands that your opponent may hold.

Poker players who are active in online forums often discuss the EV or Expected Value of a decision.
