Definition 5h564p

Expected value is a risk vs reward analysis that illustrates how much we would expect to gain, on average, per hand, for a particular action.

The EV of a river call for instance, is:
EV = (Size of pot)*(Chance we win) – (Size of the bet)*(Chance we lose)

Example 1w1m2t

Folding has an expected value of zero since money invested in the pot is no longer yours to consider.
