This is great. Think I’m going to get a hell of a lot from this one.
Is the bottom line for this approach just to do tons and tons of calculations in Equilab etc (I found what seems to be a pretty decent Android app called ‘Poker Equity Calculator’ too – free but add supported) to the point where you make best guesses in a live situation based on identical scenarios you have encountered before or similar simulations you have run?
That there’s of course no way to know this on the fly, but to keep plugging away at numbers and range calcs to the point where you narrow your margin of error over time, through tons of trial and error and practise?

Basically, yeah. I mean, you can try to be a little more explicit about learning from it, try playing around with variables, see which hands have what kind of equity, etc. It helps you learn general principles such as “pocket pairs are rarely in bad shape” or “suited connectors perform really well against wider ranges”, etc.
At the very least, this should be the first thing you do when questioning your play after the fact (ie, before you come to the TPE forums to post “What should I do here?” 😉 )

This was awesome. You explained it in a way I never thought about before, and I’ve been playing 5 years. Thanks. This will help me a lot.

16minutes in I think your example is backwards? 50% of the time you pay $200 and 50% you win $100 according to the slide… not a wager you should take.
MP89
I thought this at first too, but he is correct, he is saying he will pay us $200 50% of the time and 50% of the time we pay him $100

Hello Andrew,
thank you very much for this great video. I think i will take a lot from this explanation. To be honest: I never thought about expected value correctly. The offline analysis with eq calc will help me a lot as well. TPE is generally giving a lot of these light-bulb moments. The video was one them.
I have to mention one negative too. You are talking a lot around the topic. When i gave trainings, i had the problem:
How do i put all of these information into a short meeting or video? I think that is what happened here. You have a lot of knowledge to share. A lot of things are important. Instead of repeating things often, you may just give a short summary (like you did it too) and take the video 2 times. The first version is just for reviewing and will improve the productive version dramatically.
The video is still great. I just found me in one of my trainer reflections, when i viewed it. It happened mostly to me, when i wanted to deliver the absolute best speech and i didnt saw myself before.
Regards
BMindful 😉

am i wrong in saying that if you tie the pot @ 26:20 you will get like 2,5k considering you get 1818 of what already is in the pot but you also get half of what you’re calling in that situation

“a 10% edge is pretty significant” I am curious as to why is it significant if we pay 10% rake?

I’m a 10+ year player but GREAT INTRO. Always good to brush up on the foundations of the game and I want that University PATCH!!
RaisersEdge
Sorry to double post ONE criticism, video kept donking after like no mouse movement for awhile, i started really having to remember where I had left off. It wasn’t my machine/setup either… Maybe in the future the devs can implement a “last left off” feature.. STILL GREAT INTRO

For playing 16 years and full time for 2 years, I would just say at the lower stakes live and online tournaments, most players when I see them show down their cards are shoving slightly tighter. It seems most rec players will shove Ax, suited broadways, some offsuit broadways and pairs (in this type of spot) which is around 25% of hands. This is just to help anyone who is looking for a more calculated approach from someone who has had the experience! Hope this helps! 🙂

Can someone answer is it basically if we are getting at least 42% and there and is nobody left behind us and this would also put us all in are we to make this call with how Big Blinds left? I can see folding if we have lets say 30+ Bigs but do we need to take these spots below lets say 30 bigs to have a chance in the tournament?
RaisersEdge
If you watched the ENTIRE video you will see that Andrew presents a slide 2 TIMES that answers this EXACT question. We do not consider (except in RARE Bubble situations and I suppose ICC/LADDERING) “I do not want to lose X BB’s”. It is simply NOT a mathematically based question… I quite frankly don’t think you understand the concepts laid out. Having 30 BB’s or in THIS CASE 18 BB’s makes zero difference in our decision. Also we are not all in but IF (BB folds in my answer and your question) Villain in HJ position DID have us covered and his shove put we the HERO all in we STILL are “getting it in good”. We like our 40% and pot odds so we CALL. Folding is not a static it is a -EV decision in THIS example. Hope that helps a bit…

Real shame that so much of the screen is wasted with the massive text and large white area when the focus of attention needs to be on the table and the action.
I was chromecasting these videos to the TV but had to ditch that idea as soon as I began watching this video. Bringing it back to the laptop didn’t improve much as the table is about half the size of the video screen. Great pity.
