Re: The Mathematics of Poker

Re: The Mathematics of Poker

Re: The Mathematics of Poker

Re: The Mathematics of Poker Errata

There have been various opinion stated, but I can't see how 9 or 10 handed could really make that much of a difference. My opinion is that anyone with a solid overall understanding of poker theory...
