Re: Ahead of his range but unprofitable to push?

blanko: That's absolutely true. But a LOT of people get tilty or at least let the losses affect their game. I think most people underestimate the value of reduced variance.

I'm not saying shoving...

Re: Ahead of his range but unprofitable to push?

I think you're giving him too much credit. I seriously doubt he'd fold kings there, and he could have all kinds of other hands. He could have A4 of spades, or maybe any flush draw. AQ isn't...

Re: Villain offers to show a card

Can't really fold top two here. Move all in and hope you're still good.

IMO the villain offering to show a card is a sign of weakness. If he was that strong, he would shut up and let you get all...

Re: Every Poker Player Should Know

EV is simple. If you're 70% to win a $100 pot, your EV is $70. If you're 50% to win, 10% to tie, 40% to lose, your EV is $55.

Fold equity is the value that your hand gains when you bet. Suppose...

Re: a set? lol, whats that

here's the correct math

sqrt (70(1/9.51*8.51/9.51)) = 2.57
expected: 7.36
actual: 1
deviations: 2.47
odds of this happening: just over 1%

Re: Problem: EV++ and risk tolerance in a multiple decision scenario.

Top: You are correct that there's no reason to stop just because it's being played multiple times in a row.

Re: Can Somebody Quantify this Bad Run?

While 12 hands is a small sample size, it's still enough to be significant. Obviously, it's normal to be a couple of wins away from the expected number. But it is statistically significant when you...

Re: DEAL or NO DEAL (TV Game Show) How Decide?

Oddly enough, I've also seen reverse tilt on the show. Someone recently had an offer of $107k... the average case was worth about $135k, so it was a reasonable 80% of EV offer. The contestant chose...
