Default Petriv \"Hold\'Em Odds\"

Anyone read?

Is this the best source of info on odds for hold'em, or are there others?

Bill Chen's book is coming out soon, its safe to wait for his title since it is nearly guaranteed to be good. I just gave my copy of Petrov's book to a math wiz friend as a gift, if that tells you anything.

This is the best holdem math book currently available, although it does contain some minor double-counting errors.

I bought it relatively early in my poker experience, and it helped my game.

What I'm looking for really is outs calculations in most situations, and percentages of hand matchups, % 2 cards win vs. any random hand, etc.

Should I wait for the new book Luv2DriveTT, or is Petriv good enough? It sounds somewhat advanced, as I'm not looking for every single possible number that I would probably not calculate at the table.

The book certainly contains the above. However, it does require some digesting.

Pokerstove does this for free, except for calculating outs which you can also find on the net for free.

I have been meaning to ask an important question.

Who is the girl in your avatar?

Then Petrov is far more advanced that what you are looking for. I would assume Chens book will be the same.

I basically thought this is all the math that I need to know. What else is in the Petriv book that someone would need to use in hold'em?
