EV Chop: All-in Insurance at KKPoker

What is EV Chop?

EV Chop is an insurance offered by KKPoker that allows you to split the pot in an all-in situation based on the EV of your hand without ending it.

Insurance must be enabled in the KKPoker app settings. The system will offer players the option to activate EV Chop if:

• The hand is played on a cash table in NLH, PLO, PLO5, Flash, or 6+
• Players are all-in on any street except the river
• The pot size is at least 20BB
• No minimum equity is specified, although neither player must have 100% equity

If players activate EV Chop, Run it Twice cannot be used. Likewise, if a side pot is in the hand, insurance will be calculated separately for it.

Calculating the Insurance Amount

The amount players will receive after activating EV Chop is calculated using the following formula:

Fold: (Pot - Rake) Equity - EV Chop Rake

*2% pot size

Is EV Chop profitable?

From a strictly mathematical standpoint, the answer is clear: this insurance is not profitable. In the long run, you will pay more money in rake than you will save on bad beats.

However, there are some situations in which insurance can be helpful in the short term:

If you tend to tilt on bad beats, insurance can help you deal with the emotions caused by variance in hands where your equity is high (60%-70%).

Then, you can use EV Chop to protect your mental health, not necessarily your bankroll.
