Barron's September Article

[ptmusic]

This is the KQs gutshot article. A great article; I don't disagree with anything in it, actually. Well done!

My question involves this sentence:

"It started to look bad. However, I looked at the implied odds."

Then there is a lengthy description of all the possible implied odds, depending on how many more raises there might be in the turn and the river. Also calculated were the number of cards available to make the hand, considering the likely holdings of the opponents.

PHEW! That's a LOT OF THINKING IN THE HEAT OF BATTLE.

I often review hands to this level of accuracy, mathematically. But I do it after the fact.

Did you (does anybody) make ALL those calculations on the fly, right then and there, while the other players were waiting for your decision???
