    Default How is EV calculated?

    For non-allin hands:
    Is EV calculated street by street or just at the showdown?

    For allin hands:
    Is EV calculated street by street or only the moment I am allin?

    Example:
    Hero raises preflop.
    Hero bets/calls Flop.
    Hero is allin Turn.

    In this example, let's say Hero is ahead on the Flop (+EV), but behind on the Turn (-EV).

    Does HM take the Flop into account or does it just consider the street where the allin occurs - the turn in this example?

    EV-calculation would be very inaccurate and quite useless if HM would not include the Flop in its EV calculation for the hand.

    Hi, EV is calculated only for all-in hands and only considers the pot size and equity when the hand went all-in. It is a measure of luck after the hands get all-in which definitely is not useless.
