First typo spotted in HOH2

[johnnybeef]

Im not usually the type of person who nitpicks about things like this, but it was pretty obvious to me and had me confused for a second.

pg. 50

"3. I must have seen by opponent fold to a small bet"

which should read

"I must have seen my opponent fold to a small bet"

You can find typos like that in probably every novel published by every major house in the world - especially when the typo is a real word (like having there / they're / their).

I'm mostly concerned if there is an error that would affect the strategic and tactical elements I take from the book...

player 2's m should equal 2.5, not 25.

i've noticed quite a few typos in my first pass through of the book. I dont have it on me but I can come back and post page #'s if this sort of thing would be helpful.

For the 2nd printing:

P.171
"Your expectation is now $90,863 for a profit of just $957."

The first number should read $90,957 or the second $863; they need to match.

Question:

On page 168 at the bottom in the SHAL analysis, "expectation when I fold" is $90K. But in the example, antes are $300. So, isn't expectation when you fold really $89,700?

If you assume this same ante reduction when you go all in and win, this adds a little bit to the EV calculation.

In the example, if you go all in, your numbers say you bust 15.4% of the time, ie you won't owe an ante. You will only owe an ante the 84.6% of the time they fold or you win when they call. 84.6% of $300 = $253.8.

In other words, $46.2 should be added to the EV of going all in versus folding.

While this is a minor point in this example, it could be a much bigger point short handed with the BB next hand.

For example, blinds are $3K-6K, antes 300. You are 2 handed for the title, and have the button. You have $30K in chips after posting, and he has you covered. You figure if you go all in, he will fold 60% of the time, and you will double up 15% of the time. 25% of the time you bust.

My method:

Your stack if you fold will be $23,700.
Your stack if he folds to your all in will be $33,300.
Your stack if he calls and you win will be $60,300
Your stack if he calls and you lose will be 0

(33,300 * .6) + (60,300 * .15) = $29,025 - 23,700 = $5325 +EV

However, if you did it the way HOH2 does it, then:

Stack if you fold = $30K
Stack if you go all in and he folds = 39,600
Stack if you go all in, he calls, you win = 66,600
Stack if you go all in and bust = 0

(39,600 * .6) + (66,600 * .15) = 33,750 - 30,000 = $3,750 +EV

5325 - 3750 = 1575 difference in EV

Of course, I am only analyzing chip EV, and not differences in money payouts. But my way certainly demonstrates the chip benefits of aggressive play short-handed.

I don't think I notice nearly as many typos in other books.

Obviously I am reading the 2+2 books more intently so perhaps I am just more likely to find them. But I do think they generally have more.

I found several typos in HoH II. Nothing major. There was one problem where the blinds/antes for the table did not match at all what was given in the answer, but I can't remember if that was I or II.
