Hello!

Can anyone explain me how the dynamical values of the hand are calculated?

I had read several articles (See for example these links: http://www.online-texas-holdem-poker.net/poker_strategy_expert.html http://www.pokertips.org/advanced/hvalue.php )

I can calculate odds using free Poker Odds Calculator available from Simtel http://www.simtel.com/pub/pd/81133.html.

If I know pot odds on the river I can calculate expected value, but how it relates to the dynamical value of the hand I have no idea.

If I do not know pot odds I don’t know how this dynamical value should be evaluated.

Any ideas?

Regards, PS

First of all, those two articles are the same article. Secondly, the term used is "dynamic" not "dynamical". Thirdly, please don't spam multiple forums with your posts.

Starting hands have different values under different circumstances. For example, you generally want to play suited connectors for 1 bet in a multiway pot. The value of Ax suited goes down if there's a raise in front of you. The value of big cards goes up shorthanded. That kind of thing. You don't "calculate" the value of starting hands, it's just something you learn.

Now I have a question for you: do you think Bison should drop down one or two levels while he rides out this slump?
