The maths in poker isn't that hard because more often than not you are dealing with the same scenarios over and over again and in most cases the math has been done for you elsewhere. Very rarely do you need to do the math at the table, most situations should be covered in your study away from the table, and when you are at the table it's more about feel based on the theory you've learned away from the table.

The tricky part here is that EV over millions of hands is tough for any human being to consistently stick with. When you factor in tilting and misreading ranges this equation becomes quite skewed especially for the average player. I agree with everything he said but keeping with these principles is extremely difficult when you take into all of the variables that the average player endures. When I say average player, I mean recreational players not trying to make a living, but trying to enjoy themselves while making some money at the same time. Just be aware of what kind of player you are before you apply these principles whole heartedly. Just my 2 cents...

And what about someone who is trying to play like Phil Ivey & puts in a 5th raise preflop holding 5-2... How do we put him on a range? Do we just say that his range is any 2 cards?

No, this is not bs, this is how it's done. If you're playing with some crazy guy with crazy hands like that, you are probably playing with amateurs. It is really hard to play against amateur because the range they are playing is often really wide, and is because of that we have cases like the Hellmuth's "He called me with a Q 10, honey" meme. But as Chris said, if you are playing for a long time with this "funny fcker", you will be able to discover that he plays those hands and because of that, the range for this "funny fcker" will be really wide. But the math is the same. You don't need to believe me, or believe Chris Leung tho. If you need to hear the same thing we are saying, but from a pro, search for Negreanu's tips videos, he post it often.

You're not really going to be doing the math at the table. It's impossible unless you're some genius level mathematician. It's more about experience and intuition. You do these EV exercises in practice across various types of hands and it starts becoming principles you apply in real time for hands in relation to game circumstances like raising, calling, what kind of flop comes up, etc... This guys has some good workbooks that, if you have the desire to get through and gain the experience, will help.

why do you also factor the money you put in into winnings?
@ThePokerBank11 ай бұрын
When doing single-action EV, any money you've previously invested in the pot belongs to the pot. Otherwise your up/downside numbers would mess up the accounting =)

Awesome graphics and explanation. I have an app in which you input the number of players on the hand, your cards and the table cards and then calculates two percentages; Win% and Equity%. What's the difference between Win% and Equity% ?

how do you simulate the hand? is it manual design or you using an app?

How accurate can I reasonably expect a hand range to be? And wouldn't wild players completely ruin EV since they don't have an easily predictable range?
@RackwitzG4 жыл бұрын
Not in the long run. Money is won from weak players that play their weak hands too far. Be ready for some wild swings with wild players though.

But didnt you just calculate his possible hand? What about you hand? Doesnt this have anything to do with ev? And what about the wider range? If you calculate that is it still ev+?

Adding more _pairs_ to the shover's range _does not_ improve your +EV. However, adding unpaired hands does.

Good thing I won those mental math contests as a kid!!!

I understand the ev calculation but how on earth do you get %W? your opponent(s) could have any of over 150 dif hand combinations, which is then compounded by the potential community cards combinations

Play around with an equity calculator (like Equilab) for a bit to get a feel for it. There's a lot of practice of that sort of thing in my Preflop & Math Workbook if you prefer: www.splitsuit.com/poker-preflop-math-workbook
