Thanks!
... but I don't think we'll use the 10/20 - 380/760 - 625/1250 - ... blind structure.

Tournament clock
There will be a nice 50 person poker tournament at my home, this Saturday.
It would be nice if I could beam some kind of poker clock on the wall.
One that can display blinds, level time left,...

Re: Pokerstove
The one I calculated equals PS's answer.
So I guess it's right.

Re: all-in odds question
So the question is whether to pay $215-$50=$165 to win $215+$30+$50=$295?
One would need an equity of 165/(295+165)=.359, not counting the rake.
Since 67o's equity is about .423 this is an easy...

Re: Is this just a math problem?
The equity of 43o over a random hand - translated to odds - is 1:1.85 against.
You are getting 1:2.22 pot odds.
To maximize your amount of chips, you should call.
But I think with a relatively...

Another simplification...
Here's my simplification...
I'll disregard the blinds for now, and I don't think it matters that much.
Furthermore, I will not count comebacks, i.e. once you have less than your opponent, you'll...

Minimum hand would be 93o
Assuming your winning probability (PW) equals your chip fraction I get the following:
If you fold your hand, you'll have a PW of 81.25%
If you raise your hand, you'll have a PW of...

Re: A theoretical game
So, if it's H the tth time, Mike pays 2^(t-2) for t>1.
Note that you switched H and T in your examples.
Let S be the stochastic variable denoting the amount of dollars Mike has to pay back.

Re: Heads-up, one preflop bet only. Perfect plays.
I think the different equities of a hand against different sets of hands is not as subtle as you state it is.
The difference between JTs against different pairs of sevens should in my opinion not be...

Both receive two cards from a full 52 card deck.

Re: Why do my results differ from Sklansky\'s?

How come Sklansky's results aren't correct? After all, he invented the game right?
Hopefully he realizes what he's done wrong.

Why do my results differ from Sklansky\'s?
I read the article and did some calculations for my own.
Lots of the results differ from Sklansky's.
This is how the dealer makes his choice about calling or folding.

Tables for the amounts again...
About the same calculations as in the answer to #1, except that with an initial pot of $p, one would call only with hands that have a better EQ than 1000/(2000+p).
Here are the lists.
#2 - $500...
