@CoachCoop Poker Melee pool games return you your ALL-IN EV in all-in situations in an effort to reduce the influence of luck. You were 39.8% dog to win a ~$4k pot so you got back 39.8% of the pot which resulted in a -$409 loss to you (this is essentially what you’d get back if you ran the river an infinite number of times…)

@C4pAble gotcha, thanks!
