At 34:08 how did you calculate the outs? if you have 52 cards in the deck and you have 4 on the table, 2 in your hand and you put the oppoint on QQ that means there are 44 cards left in the deck to draw from. Then you take the cards you need to make a good hand (your outs) you need to subract that from the remaining cards, so you have 14 outs subtract that from 44 and you have 30 cards left giving you ~30:14 out odds, reducing that gives you ~2.2:1 odss so ~32%.. is this just another way of calculationg the odds not the %?
I have a problem: how do you keep all that data in your head?
Count how many times he says "essentially."
Thank you for this great workshop. I appreciate the effort of both MIT and the great teacher!
At around 11:20 (the example ov level 2 reasoning), why are only AK through A8 considered? Hands like AA or A3 could change the outcome quite profoundly.
J Tilly gets a bad rap for that infamous hand because she stated that she thought Patrick had Ks, which was unlikely considering the betting sequence. But K-T, K-J or K-7 would have her beat as well, and he could easily have slow played that from the flop with a pair and K kicker, waiting to see if she would show her strength on the turn. When she didn't, he could've stolen the pot by betting on the river by making her think he had one of those hands, or even K-x if he didn't put her on a boat. So yeah, the stares from Ivey and J Harman were funny, but Antonius could've and maybe should've stolen that pot when she fast checked on the river.
I can't believe more people don't know about this. Thanks for creating it.
Why is 21:8 = 2.56:1?????
I think the first person should have gotten the giftcard because thats roughly what he meant with "you reveal alot of information about what your hand is" – Since your opponent also builds ranges for you, you are readable to if you play that structure.
Great video overall tho
I'm confused from the part where the class starts to the end. But I guess if you know what Texas holdem is you won't be confused.
