Hold'em odds book....

[Michael Emery]

Hi-

I wonder if anyone can offer me the best book regarding hold'em preflop odds on the market. I know the basic odds (I'm not a begining hold'em player) like 220-1 to get a specific pair preflop, 16-1 to get any pair, etc. But I would like a book with all the hold'em preflop odds and how they come up with them (I'm not too mathematically inclined and would like to learn). I would think it would be much easier to learn if I had a good hold'em odds book to lead the way, then I could see how the odds came up and save myself a lot of time. I'm just looking for odds like, how often will I be dealt AA-JJ, how often will I hold JJ in a ten handed game and someone will hold AA-QQ, stuff like that. Like I said I would also like it to show the math involved if possible so I may learn. Thanks so much for any responses.

I am curious as to how you think applying this to your game will have any benefit. Understand valuing a hand preflop, and you should not have any problems with preflop play.

Mike Petriv's Hold'em's Odds Book, a.k.a. Hold'em Odds Book is recommended for what you are looking for. Not sure where all they're sold. I'm bidding on one on E-bay right now.

I am curious as to why you wouldn't just use the search function or even just look back a couple of pages since this get's asked twice a week.

Valuing a hand preflop and wanting to know the mathematical distibution of hands dealt to me and my opponents is totally diffrent. I know how to "value" hands like, suited connectors and small pairs need multiway action, big offsuit high cards do best against a small number of players, etc. What I want to know is the cold odds of getting dealt something specific, or being behind to something preflop.

Jake gave me a good link to a hold'em odds book, which I ordered. Has anyone here come across a good odds book for seven stud hi? I would reason that it would be too tough (impossible) to calculate every situation, but a guide as to how to go about it? Stud material is so hard to find and the math looks tough.
