Squid / Bounty Calculator

Calculates the EV of live cash-game side bets — the Squid marker game and Three-in-a-Row bounties.

The rules of the two games

Squid

Win a pot, take a marker. Reach the knockout line and every markerless player pays you a flat bounty; otherwise holders collect per marker when the game settles. The calculator plays the game out from the current marker board and shows, for every seat, how many big blinds taking the next pot is worth.

Three-in-a-Row Bounty

Win three hands in a row and every other player pays you a bounty — and each further consecutive win collects again. The calculator turns the current streak state into per-seat value for the hand about to be dealt, plus each position's long-run gain or bleed per hand.

Both tabs are settlement calculators, not solvers — they price the equity overlay the side bet creates, the part of the spot card-EV tools can't see.

Squid EV calculator

Squid tab: marker board for 8 players and a per-seat table of Win, Fold and Net EV
Enter the marker board and your stakes, and it shows Win, Fold and Net EV for every seat — the big-blind value of taking the next pot.

Three-in-a-Row Bounty EV calculator

Three-in-a-Row Bounty tab: streak picker with the big blind on a two-win streak and a per-seat EV table
Enter the current streak, and it shows what the next hand is worth for every seat, plus each position's long-run gain or bleed per hand.

Requires Windows 10 or 11.
