Comment The Post Below...
Hello Poker Players,
I'm going to a poker game at a friend of a friends house in
Indiana tomorrow night.
The buy in is $50 and it's winner take all.
Today's article is a really, really good one. I would suggest
printing out a copy and becoming familiar with it.
Knowing these odds can help a great deal.
Ante Up,
Austin

POKER KNOWLEDGE THAT CAN GIVE YOU AN EDGE...
Courtesy of PokerLetter.org
Poker math doesn't always require computation on the spot. There
are a number of scenarios and draws where your probabilities are
the same regardless of the cards you're holding. This is because of
the number of outs that you have. If you become aware of these
patterns and memorize your percentages, it can allow you to spend
your time focusing on other matters such as your opponents' betting
habits and demeanor and greatly increase your ability to maximize
your poker winnings.
Knowing your probabilities is an important tool because it can not
only help you to make a smart call based on the percentages, but it
can also help you get away from hands you would otherwise have
difficulty giving up.
Here are some probabilities that you will find extremely useful
when playing:
