I try search on YouTube, but I didn't found
Is there any good source for learn mental arithmetic? Thanks!
Multiply 1400 by 10x, 20x, etc until you go over your stack. So you know you have more than 10bb, that would be 14,000, and you know you have less than 28,000, that would be 20bb. You know it's closer to 20 than it is to 10, so it is more than 15. So even if you are like, okay I have 16-19bb, in a pinch, that is a decent approximation.
