Small Stakes Hold 'em - Winning Big with Expert Play (1st printing Jul

[mdb]

In your book Small Stakes Hold 'em - Winning Big with Expert Play (1st printing July 2004), on page 34, a player getting 5:1 odds needs to win only 17% of the time to call profitably. Shouldn't it be 20 percent to be profitable?

5:1 means 5 times you lose, 1 time you win. So you win 1 time out of every 6. 1/6~16.7%
