Insurance size calculation

The payout is calculated by the formula: Amount = (pot size – rake) * probability of winning * commission of the room.

Room commission, when using the option, is 1%.

Example: The game is played at a 0.5/1 NLH table. The pot is 100 (rake 2.5). Player has 1 pocket pair of aces and 81.95% to win the hand. Player 2 has a pair of kings and 18.05% to win. The amount of insurance offered for players: • Player 1 -> (100 – 2.5) x 81.95% x 99% = 79.10 • Player 2 -> (100 – 2.5) x 18.05% x 99% = 17.42

The option does not work for hands with a pot less than $0.01. Play It Safe can be disabled in the game client settings.
