Just finished playing a cash session on another site (one i normally wouldn't touch with a very poo ridden stick, but i've got some free money, courtesy of a popular training site) and I'm putting some micro 6 max training theories to the test.
All is well and good and tbh I'm running over the table when a villain shows up who quite clearly is either a much better than the average player on this site for this level inc. me. Or a complete lunatic as he proceeds to shove 90% of hands from every position.
I try to do a quick MDF calculation as its obvious that there's +EV if I get it right and I'm looking at a poss 30 - 40 buy in profit before he either gives up or I get it wrong and dump a dozen buy ins @ 4 euros a time.
However I only know river MDF calcs which say the bet divided by the pot plus the bet = MDF% which in this case was typically
sb 0.02 bb 0.04 villain 4.00 so that's 400 / 406 =0.9852 so i should be defending with 98.5% of my range.
Surely I'm wrong. I usually am.

Therefore, in your case, it would be 400/806 = 0.4962 (49.6%). This assumes neither you or the villain are one of the blinds.
TBH I left the game with my 3 buy in profit until I could get some clarification because I didn't want to start defending with 74o and the like. I shall update my flash card immediately (yeah I know I sound like a little child but hey, if it works) to include the potential call.
