Looking for a math book for hold\'em
 

I'm looking for a math book for hold em. I have read statistics and probability theory (don't know if that are the correct names) at the university. Din't like it much before I started to play poker [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I'm looking for a book shows how all the calculations are made that can be done for poker especially hold'em.

Never read it, but Mike Petriv's Hold'em odds book should do the trick.

Thanks will take a look at it.

There's a book called the mathematics of poker by Bill Chen and some others. I haven't read it, but I intend to look at it.

I hadn't heard of this. Any idea where it's available?

edit: a google search indicates that the other authors are Jerrod Ankenman & Andy Latto. In Dec. 2003, they were indicating it was due out "next year".

Does this mean it's not going to come out? Bill Chen is number 1 on Sklansky's list of smartest poker players. I'd be interesting to see what kind of book would come from such a guy.

If it's Bill Chen and Jerrod Ankenman, it may be somewhat like this stuff. (Which would be cool.)

Re: Looking for a math book for hold\'em
 

why not just theory of poker, small stakes hold em, or holdem for advanced players?

I would guess this to be heavy on the math and game theory, and not a beginner's book at all.
