Hold'em Odds Mike Petriv

Anyone read this book or anything.

Read some great reviews online, but the book is 40 dollars and i wanted to know if it was worth it or could i gain this information somewhere else.

$40? I know I didn't pay $40 for that little spiral bound green book. But It was probably worth $40, to me. If you're around Vegas, just check The Gambler's Book store. (not the general store.)

It's basically just a lot of numbers/statistics on hold'em including derivations.

i found the book listed on 2 sites one for 37.99 and one for like 50 somehting, is it worth the purchase for someone looking for specific examples of odds in play like when i have a gutshot with two overs ext.. the odds for different scenarios

Gambler's Book Shop has it for $24.99. The description they have seems accurate

That's where I bought mine at that price. And, it wasn't sprial bound.

I don't have my copy on hand or I'd give a quick rundown of the contents.

The part I found very helpful was the odds of hitting the flop in various ways given certain preflop holdings. Like, how often you get a flop that gives you gutshot+flush draws when starting with suited connectors, or how often you hit a flop to get 14 out draws to an overpair when starting, preflop, with a suited A, ect...

It has odds for being delt particalar cards preflop. It gives odds for opponent holdings at certain points. And, of course, it has the basic % to complete certain hands from both the flop and turn.

Having the book on hand while reviewing my game helped me a lot. That being said, there is a reason it's not at the local Barnes and Nobles, and it's hard to tell if it's exactly what you're looking for or not.

This book will help the mathematically challenged.
I have this book, and it helped me figure out the odds.
A very worthwhile investment.

Thanks i just ordered your book today too

[imported_PocketAces]

I recommend this book. It has a lot of mathematical information and clearly explains how to do probability calculations for yourself.

My volume is paperback, not spiral bound. The only thing I didn't like about it was the font. The publisher used a cheap, typewriter-looking font that is not as easy on the eyes as a typical typesetting font. Hopefully that was corrected in a later edition.

Its is now /images/graemlins/frown.gif The book is out of print, but the Gambler's Book Shop has permission to reprint (photocopy) and resell the book. Its good to learn the math fundamentals of odds computations, but for the average player it will be useless unless they care to calculate the odds on an obscure problem.
