Poker Math That Matters

There's already $15 in the pot, so we subtract that from $30 and
find out we need $15 more on the river. He has $20 left and has
a strong hand, so getting that $15 should be pretty easy. And
better yet, we should get more than $15 on the river which is
what we're really after. So, if our opponent only had $10 left to
bet on the river, we would need to fold here.
