Default Re: ***August LC Thread*** - OMG I have this great amazing story...

let's talk Jam/Fold tables in Mathematics of Poker for a second (for you turbo junkies)

assuming i'm not the only one that's read this book 5 times and been confused every minute of it, in the tables, it says, for example, to call a shove with QJo if your stack is 19.9 bbs.

now, is this against an opponent who is shoving according to the optimal strategy? because when i look back at my games, people are shoving roughly the top 15%-20% of their hands, which makes a call here -EV.

so, should i throw these tables which i am convinced have cost me lots of $$ over the months and just go by straight equity calcs against opponent's shoving range?
