Default Help me put together a poker math presentation...

I accidentally volunteered to talk about poker math to some friends who play. Above and beyond things like pot odds, what topics do you guys think would be most important??? My basic premise is "math is MUCH more important than you're giving it credit for" and I'd like the presentation to live up to that.

I am thinking of talking about ROI and risk of ruin, but also I'd like to talk about simming various theoretical situations and figuring out optimal bets and other things where the math may reveal something important. Maybe I could also discuss various aspects of Poker Tracker and how that and a display program (e.g. PA-Hud) can be useful.

I have the Chen book, although I'm only on like page 40 and the reading is slow, since I'm self-taught in the stats department.

Any advice on WHAT to talk about is much appreciated, as well as HOW if it's likely that I'm too stupid to pick it up myself.

Thanks for your help!!!
