Probability Book

[top-spin]

I'm fairly new and in addition to the other 5 or 6 factors, I'd like to get grounded on computing odds and probabilites for poker hands, specifically, Hold Em.

I have super system, theory of poker, caro's book of tells, and one or two ken warren books, but i'd like a poker book that deals with the odds of catching cards and improving with cards to come. I'd rather understand than just memorize stuff. I can figure out all the percentages if i'm looking to hit ONE of my outs, but the multiple out thing, and runner runner has me a little confused.

Any suggestions on a good book?

I don't have it myself, but Mike Petriv's book, Hold 'em Odds, is often recommended for that kind of thing. (You don't really need a book, though. Ask a few questions in the probability forum.)

I do have the book but have not got around to reading it yet, it is more like a textbook with but overall it looks like it would be your best bet for what your looking for

David's vidio "Sklansky the seminar" was great in this regard".
