Re: Hold\'em %s Pre-flop => Flop

If you rearrange the digits of a number to construct another number and subtract both from each other, the checksum is always a multiple of 9.

Re: Deal or No Deal
If someone accepts 220k if the possible outcomes are 1, 200k, 300k, or 400k, this cannot be critized too much because the EV of rejecting is only a few percent more. Of course the EV should be the...

Re: 2* Royal Flush whilst 6 tabling
Why don't we compute the probability to have 9/images/graemlins/club.gif 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif at THIRTEEN different tables at the same time?
Just because nobody asks?
Well, I do ask. ...

If we assume that the individual folding probabilities are independend -- they are not, but just because the calculation is much...

Re: The Law of Averages and Poker
I think you are totally right.
In statistics however, we cannot predict the fate of an individual, we can only make predictions about the attributes of groups of individuals. Therefore, as long as...

Re: AQ
I am not sure but I think there are mainly two reasons.
1. If you are ahead you can play AK much stronger than AQ because you are not threatened by any overcard.

Re: stupid question
No. The weak law of large number only states that the frequencies approach the expected values.
Example: 100 tosses, 51 heads, 49 tails, frequency 51% vs. 49%, absolute difference: 2

Re: Basic math proof
LOL, every child in the 7th grade knows that (a-b)*(a+b) = a^2-b^2.
Do you really think the special case of a=b+1 should be called a "theorem"?
Try this: add the first n odd numbers (1, 1+3,...
