There is a lot of math that underlies a good #poker strategy, but some concepts are more important than others. Here are the 4 concepts that every serious poker pro fully understands and calculates regularly. I’ve also included formulas and practice so you can refine these calculations more easily.
Throughout this video, we go through representative examples and hands to demonstrate how poker #math can be used to make better decisions at the table and gain a competitive edge over your opponents. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced player looking to up your game, this video is a must-watch for anyone who wants to improve their poker #strategy.

To simplify let’s say you everyone calls the bb and you usually don’t play 56 off suit and you are next to the dealer button.
You can call that and hope to flop the nuts either a straight or trips or something of high value.
You are essentially getting a good price for shit cards.
This is why people with good cards should be betting big preflop to get better odds when the cards run out.
Example: AK or pocket pair heads up will win 70%+ of the time depending on what you have obviously (summarized bad math) of just winning straight out.
But if more people stay in that goes down to like 20-40% of winning if there are too many players.
Don't be surprised. If you do what everyone else does in poker, you'll get everyone else's results. If you want more, you need to work harder on your game. That's the price of success.
thank you rabbi
making poker uncool bring back icy stare downs
Rewawity
6:39 how can I know that my opponent is going to fold 40% of time? Ask him? Ask his neighbour? pull up a quick calculator and figured fast enough? Look at the crystal ball?
Lol is poker even fun any more???
Do the math or save brain bites and go with “I’m due for a river” like I do….
nice
Thanks upside down Kramer
the Human brain if trained in math can recognize most situations.
Probabilities, likelihood and even lies.
So is there any way to mathematically make money over the long term as a poker player? Or will it always just be gambling?
It's nice to see someone go over the basics. I'm sick to death of hearing the poker bros talk about GTO plays while looking like they're making everything up on the fly. None of modern poker theory makes sense anymore, and nobody is explaining it clearly.
how the heck does anybody grasp this stuff??
But that’s dependent on your cards though right? because if i have a 2 and 7 off suit and we checked all the way, im. it sure the pot calc would matter right?
So, in realtime if someone bets 10k into 100k pot and 4 people call (including you) … since they bet 1/10, your pot odds equity requirement is 1/15th or 6.6%. Basically, just figure out the bet/pot ratio and add the number of people continuing in the hand (better + all the callers including you) to the denominator. That 6.6% is at least how often you need to win the hand to be profitable.
How do you apply pot odds to the hands you hold and the hands you think your opponent holds? Equity requirements?
I do not use math or pot odds, i just play my hand,,,,,hahahahahahahaha,,,,,,I cashed in 3 straight WSOP events this year. Of course i use pot odds sometimes, it depends on my stack size and hand. I do not call just because i am getting good pot odds, i can play a awesome short stack if needed.
James Sweeney, I probably listen to you for around 20 years and only today i have seen your face. ahahah Played the video and immediately recognized the voice.
