Has anyone used combinatorics for this game? I'm having a total brain fart it trying to set up a problem that should be pretty easy. So I'm looking for a short-cut...

Re: Stack size theory (cash games)
I think number 4 is the big key. Most people who play with a short stack are looking for a chance to get AI pre-flop with a big hand because they basically don't want to play post-flop. The other...

Pls help - looking for old thread
I bookmarked this about 6 or 8 months ago and the laptop I saved that on crashed.
It started as something like "the concept most overlooked by starting players" and was a top 20 or 30 list with...

I love betting gutshots
Because 1) I hate calling with them, and 2) most opponents don't see it coming when you fill. In NL, it can also be cheaper as a bet to keep people off your back, and may build the pot multi-way to...

Re: Tight and unimaginitive player needs advice
I think this is tougher on-line. Imagination is largely overrated in on-line play. In live play I point out that you want to be sure to raise with rags now and then and not just AK. Rags are gonna...

LoL - e < 10
If it really mattered, most fields in physics require math, but not the other way 'round.
But it doesn't matter...
Especially for "math" people who think e > 10...

In PL and NL, yes
I think it's usually a bad idea in limit to limp with these hands unless you're willing to throw it away if you don't improve and the board looks scary. And, with no raises, lots of boards can look...

Re: Yet another funny turn checkraise
I still don't get the idea of raising on a draw OOP. No way to get a free card there, esp since he checked after calling the three bet. Leading out on a draw is different in terms of 1) possibly...

Methinks you mis-read me
I'll continue to apply elements of finance theory to poker, no matter what 2+2 says about EV.
"Conventional wisdom" often is more conventional that wise.

I think one thing that is interesting is the by-the-book responses assume essentially complete information. Of course, when we talk about exploiting an edge we generally are talking only about what...

there were some pretty good answers and counter-questions.
I think it worked out.

Great question.
Here's what I said about it earlier - the prediction is that most people would reject the deal. Personally, it depends on 1) my feelings toward the person holding aces and 2) whether I intend to keep...

Well, the burden of getting 80% or 81.97%
Wasn't really on me, was it? Since I was giving up EV, and it was up to others to tell me how terrible that is, it seems to me that the mathematical burden is on them.
If $320 was a slip of the...

Finance applications to poker are interesting.
I think so, anyway. So, behavioral finance, utility, and information ratio all come into play with my question. Very few people stopped to think about that, but some did.
My original post did ask...

You seem to have taken this personally
Fine, I take back what I said about purists. My point is that if Sklansky himself said "that's asinine, a terrible play," I could accept that.
However, 100 guys who have read the same Sklansky...

Probably the most thoughtful criticism yet.
Not that “you can’t give up a dollar – ever – for any reason!” is that high of a bar, but still.
To your question, as it happens everyone already knows that I don’t like to gamble. Mostly I use...
