Re: Studying Othmer (stud high)
Prolly the most helpful thing I ever did was, after reading about the famous hand between Johnny Chan & Frenchy, I tried to figure out the 5th St %'s by hand. This was long before the days of twodimes, and it took me about three hours to do.
Chan had something like K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/xxx, and Frenchy had something like A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]/T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
It had been capped on 3rd & 4th, and Chan raises him on 5th, saying "He's a 2-1 dog so I gotta bet my hand for value". Chan was actually about a 1.6-1 dog.
It's been awhile, so I may have some of the above wrong. There is a thread on this hand buried deep in the archives.
