PNL Study Group Day 5: Pot Control

[Copernicus]

I apologize if this has been covered somewhere else or if this should be moved elsewhere, but a practical live alternative to the tables starting on pg 215 is needed especially for live games.

Ignoring the .5 BB for the SB completing in the one caller scenario, the following formula isnt too difficult to use live:

R=Raise size, T=Target SPR, S = effective stack size, C=anticipated number of callers

R= (S-2T)/(1+CT)

For large effective stacks and small target SPRs (as impractical as those raise sizes might be), S/CT is a good and obvious estimate.
