Re: using TI-89 Titatinuim to cheat

I gave a student an F (on the final and consequently also for the course) for doing this, and got it on his permanent record. Doesn't seem worth the risk.

Re: Probability problem - 85K hands, pocket aces 356 times

No problem. It's really not that unusual. Keep in mind that out of 100 85k samples, ~6 will have this result, and another 6 will have the result at the other end of the curve.

Re: Probability problem - 85K hands, pocket aces 356 times

You are correct. Many calculators have a "cumulative binomial" function, which is the one you want. If your numers were smaller, you could use the BINOMDIST function in Excel.

Re: PF Math for Dummies

There are equal numbers of each, and they are all equally likely, so the mean is 8. The median would also be 8, since the cards are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, T, J, Q, K, A, and 8 is directly in the...

Yes, but incorrect. My EV discussion only takes into account how much we win each hand, not how much we lose.

Re: \"Trip EV\"

1. Multiply your betting amounts (if they change) by your "edge" (which is negative) for each hand.

2. Add them up.

If you bet the same amount each time, just multiply your "edge" by the...

Re: Probablility and The Fundamental Theorem of Poker

Good questions.

(1) Yes, the FTOP does apply. Suppose you hold KK in a 10-handed hold'em game. Obviously, you're going to raise here, since KK is way ahead of the range of all the hand the other...

Re: Card dead at WSOP

There are C(52,2) = 1326 possible 2-card combinations. Of those, there are 6 each of AA-QQ, so in one particular hand:

P(not AA-QQ) = 1318/1326 = 218/221 ~ 0.9864

8 hrs * 40 hands/hr ~ 320...

This is the probability of the following boards:

QQQ
KKQ
QQK
KQx
