Basic Poker Math - 5 steps to learn any poker game

Basic Poker Math comes down to 5 steps:
1) How often you get dealt a hand
2) What your equity is hand vs hand
3) How often you are holding a playable range
4) How often you are facing a strong range
5) How much you should bet and how often that needs to work

With these steps you'd figure out the basic math in any poker game, whether it's NLH, PLO or 2-7 Single Draw.

I got distracted by the comments. Now back to the video...

I love poker but I’ve always been bad at maths. Hopefully these videos will help but I truly do not know where to start when it comes to basic maths and poker.

[authorlukegracias]

Excellent video. Is there somewhere where you can learn how to calculate the 5 fold equity math. Wanted the calculations of 1/4 pot bet and 1/3 pot bet.

52 % 22 vs AK ? im shocked not very often jamming 22 vs AK on pokerstars will win for me - but hey ho im still a learner - i have played for years and do ok but have only started to actually study the game so looking on exactly how to do that and what to study i appreciate any free info so a big thanks ! its a thumbs up from me pal !

[doodlecrayon]

Ok, but how do I find the percentages? What are the formulas? Do you teach that?

You say there are 1326 combination, then you say "12 of them are off suit." That can't be right. And you start using the abbreviation "C." What does that mean? I was lost @1:00

Many times ive had pockets or AK and been up against pocket/AK I feel as if online its too statistical

I wish you had explained your math better. You said there are 1326 combinations in Hold'em but there are actually 13^5 = 371, 293 poker combinations. Yes, that includes Hold'em. I'm just saying where did you get your numbers. You should explain that.

Why do people complicate poker with all this stuff, huh? 5 years ago, when I was learning how to play, I had to stop everything bc everyone was saying you have to have a good understanding in poker math in order to play winning poker. It took an hour, but I found the TRUTH. It is from Mike Caro. Pay attention to what he says. He says that having an intricate understanding of poker math WILL NOT give you an EDGE over other players. The two MOST IMPORTANT things to know are 1. Pot odds 2. Counting the pot. I am aware of basic odds such as 220:1 pocket Aces. 48:1 Flop 2 pair. 7.5:1 to flop a set if you hold a pocket pair. That is the extent of my poker math. I have been crushing 2/2, 2/5 and now 5/10 live for 4.5 years now. David Sklansky and Mason Malmuth started this crap. While some of it is useful, most is not. Again, Mike Caro thank you for helping me to not learn what I didn't need to know.

Poker cards cannot be measured...how many hands are u measuring...its just my mindset..

[MrDoctorMD]

Here is NOTHING to learn. Just memorizing numbers. What would be needed is the way to calculate them.
