Re: More Math Shortcuts (Inducing a bluff)
i like it. here's an example:
villain has 2k left, pot is 3k, villain has 4 outs.
pot is 1.5 as big as stack. add 1 to 2.5. 4 outs = 8%, so the answer is 20%. seems reasonable.
my only question is why you multiply by 2 for 0-4 outs and 2.5 for 5+ outs. seems like you should be multiplying by 100/46=2.17 (46 cards left in deck) regardless, and the fudge factor of calling that 2 is always better (and simpler) than 2.5. am i missing something?
