WSOP Ontario recently launched a new exciting feature for cash game players called the “EV Cashout”. The feature, which is not present in any other online poker room operating in the province, enables players to receive their equity without having to continue playing for a pot during an all-in confrontation.
WSOP Ontario’s EV Cashout Feature
The EV Cashout feature can be used by players during post-flop all-in scenarios in Texas Hold’em cash games. It can only be activated when one of the players has at least 60% equity.
You may decide to enable the EV Cashout feature and not proceed with finishing the hand. By doing so, you’ll get your equity in the pot calculated using this formula: EV Cashout = (Pot Size – Rake – Jackpot Fee) x Equity. You will no longer be able to compete for the pot. Those opting not to use the feature will still get the chance to win the entire pot. Your equity won’t be affected by the results of the hand.
Avoid Bad Luck with EV Cashout
Features similar to EV Cashout are already active in many online poker sites in the international market. It is the first time the WSOP is introducing the feature. While the feature has some disadvantages, such as the 1% cashout fee deducted from your winnings and not getting the chance to compete for the whole pot, it allows you to avoid bad luck and stay in the game much longer.
