Sit n Go Strategy Question
Hi guys, on page 43 of Moshman's book, he talks about getting 5-2 pot odds, and that if you believe your chances are better than 2 in 7, we should call in this situation.
Can someone please tell me where he has pulled this 2 out of 7 from? Thanks |

Re: Sit n Go Strategy Question
5-2 = 2.5-1
in order to call this we need to be right 1/3.5 times or 2/7. |

Re: Sit n Go Strategy Question
This is not a question for Collin. If the odds of something are 2:1 against, that means it happens once and doesn't happen twice, or it happens 1 out of 3 times.

A 2:1 underdog loses 2 times for every 1 time it wins = happens 1/3 of the time. |

Re: Sit n Go Strategy Question
Thanks for the responses guys. I have one other question about this book. On page 80 he talks about re-raising with mid pair heads up, because we have the potential of a back door flush and states we have "over 6 outs total". How does he get this? Wouldn't the only outs here be 3 aces, and two remaining 5's giving 5 outs, since we are only two to a flush and cant count any hearts as outs just yet. (referring to hand 2-12)
Thanks |
