Poker Math That Matters

Acknowledgements
One of the most valuable things for a professional poker player
to have is friends who understand the game. Being a
professional poker player can make you feel like you’re on an
island. Having those friends really helps you feel more
connected. Outside of that benefit, these friends have not only
enriched my life, but have also taken a lot of time to help me
develop my poker game. I would not be the player I am today
had it not been for their generous efforts.
I'd like to give special thanks to Steven Gallaher and Matt Hanes
for patiently helping me learn the mathematics involved in
analyzing poker situations. Without them, it's doubtful I ever
would have understood the mathematical concepts I present in
this book.
