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

I just googled for that book and I insta-ordered it. Didn't know it existed. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I am calculating stuff now, because my understanding of the underlying concepts and math in poker is bad. Anyway, one thing you could explain with calculations is that it is almost never good to call a reraise with a small pocket pair in NL for set value only, because:
a) you will hit a set or better <12% of the time
b) when you do hit your set you will not get all-in every time
c) when you do get all-in your equity will be <100%

Another thing you could explain is that sometimes going all-in with a draw is +EV because of fold equity, and then you can calculate the required fold equity in certain situations, etc.

Also, let's say your opponent 3bets with TT+ and AQ+. Flop comes 862r. He'll have A-high 51% of the time here, right? That means that you can make a small raise over his cbet with any two and you will make a profit, assuming that he will fold A-high.

I think you can figure out all sorts of stuff when you consider ranges, your equity, fold equity, etc.
