Heh I saw math and the letter A and just assumed..

All the math in there is pretty useless. The crux of the article is just to raise with things other than aces... ZOMG

The good news is that the author may in fact be a winning player.

The article highlighted what percentage of one's stack should be in the middle preflop to make aces profitable. I know general rules of thumb, but I've never seen the math for it.

There was a short thread here on it a while back. I think it ended around the 30% number.

The 45% was for a random AAxy versus a perfect AA killer (T987ds). This is the point where it's never wrong (or, at least, never -EV) to auto push any flop no matter what your opponent holds.

The 30% takes into account the fact that your AAxx will often be better than random and your opponent will often have a less than perfect AA killer.
