Practical Poker Math

Practical Poker Math
The first aim of this book is simplicity and clarity so that any
player will be able to access the power of odds, probability
and game theory information in support of each poker decision.
To facilitate access, the information in Practical Poker Math
is organized into layers. For both Texas Hold’em and Omaha
Hi-Lo it is presented sequentially, based on the round of betting.
For each round there is a brief discussion of applicability,
followed by a table of the odds for that round, followed
by an expansion and explanation of the calculation of each
of the odds found in the table. In the center of the book is a
consolidation of all of the odds tables from both games.
The result of this organization is that the player who is only
interested in referencing certain odds may easily do so in the
chapter that contains the consolidated odds tables — without
having to wade through hundreds of odds calculations.
The player more interested in the principles may read each
section’s text and refer to the attendant table. Any player who
would like to explore the calculation of a certain set of odds
can find the expansion and explanation of that calculation in
a logical location by the round of betting. And, finally, for
the student who wants to learn it all — it is all there.
