So the hand goes as posted below.

However my amount won and expected lines goes both down, but since I'm all in preflop, expected should go up. Or does it matter that there are 2 players not all in on preflop and another one folds on flop? That shouldn't affect my expected won amount line... or is there something I don't understand?

OnGame - 50/100 NL - Holdem - 4 players

Because the button called your all-in but later folded in the hand, we cannot calculate EV for this pot, as we don't know his cards.

Imagine he had 99 here. If he hits his set, he continues, and assume if he doesn't he folds (just to keep it simple).

If we calculated your EV vs KK, we would be missing your EV vs 99 - which could flop that set.

But maybe he coudln't flop a set, maybe he had AJ - which depresses your odds of hitting your own set.

The key is we don't know, so we can't calculate EV in these situations.
