Great series! One of the best on savvy IMO! Certainly continue! I personally think that you should never be worried about math being too complicated, since it is hard for me to imagine a person who is taking poker seriously to be afraid of 7th grade equations. So by all means please continue!
It is quite late here and I will certainly check my math tommorow, but i think you missed out on the fact that J9-JT actually split the pot with 16 (out of by then 34) hands in Tighty's value betting range, which certainly alters results in both examples.

How can it be that both Tighty's and Floppy's strategies are +EV? The spreadsheet suggests that Tighty's EV is $14 and Floppy's EV is $6: who are they both winning money from in the long run? I just don't get it.

Don't forget that there is $20 in the middle. If they are playing heads-up, $10 of them are Floppy's. So if his best strategy yields him an average of $6 on the river he still looses on average $4 in the hand.

Ugh, I spent so long making sure I didn't screw up the equations, can't believe I screwed up something so simple. It of course makes a difference for the results of this exact situation, but I believe all of the important broader lessons about how to find a GTO strategy, calculate the EV of a strategy, etc. still stand.

Moar please! You sir, alone are worth the price of admission on this site. I've always been a bit math/theory shy in my poker education so this series has helped me a lot.

That's exactly what I want to hear!

Foucault, or someone, could you post the equations you used in the spreadsheet, I recreated my own but when I changed the bluffing frequency the EV changed too.
Thanks for this, love this video and all of yours, I am a big fan
