Art and Science Article vs. HoH

[d1sterbd]

The analysis done in this article is slightly different than the analysis done in Harrington on Holdem Vol 1.

The math in this article estimates whether you are ahead or behind but doesn't seem to factor in the times you will lose when you are ahead in the decision process. However, it does mention that you will sometimes still lose when you are currently ahead.

The analysis in HOH (the problem when hero had AA and villian had a set of 9s) takes the fact that you will sometimes still lose when you are ahead, but the fact that there are more ways to make up certain hands than others is not part of the math.

I think that Harrington's method allows you to take into account the fact that there are more ways to make up certain hands than others in the weights assigned to each possible hand.

Can someone discuss what they think is the best way to do this? Does anyone have a different method that they use because it is quicker?
