Default Re: Calling Ranges

First of all, I presume you're talking about Sklansky and Miller's book. If Sklansky had authored a solo book on NLHE, we'd be debating what it meant because it would be incomprehensible. So be glad Ed was involved in the project.

The key is that you're getting 2:1. With TT, you're about 55:45 against 16 card combos, and 20:80 against 24 card combos. That works out to about 28:72 by my calcs, which is not quite enough, but I'm probably slightly off somehow. I'll go double check the book. (EDIT: It could be the fact that TT's more like 57:43 against AK with no suits in common, but I don't think that would account for the difference.)

At any rate, it's close to a call for that range.
