guest speaking in a class

[Schneids]

Tomorrow I'm going into my former high school to speak to a few AP Stats classes about poker and gamblingish type stuff.

I have some ideas about examples and things to say but am wondering if you guys can help me come up with anything I might be forgetting about.


Specifically, can someone think of a good, simple example (preferably limit hold em) in a multiway pot where you might raise knowing you probably have the second best hand, but doing so in an effort to get other hands to fold and therefore increase your pot equity.

Or anything else that can show examples of how we use math in poker.


Thanks in advance, I'll check back later today.

Classic Ed Miller:

You have A8s in the big blind. Some limpers, button raises. You call. Flop is K82 rainbow.... Check/go for raise.

Edit: In this example, there is a decent chance you have the best hand, so maybe not quite what you're looking for.
