is there any website or android app to practice game............

Pretty much any poker site will have play money to mess around with.

Pretty dumb question alert!

Why does the math say that 50% bluff frequency for a river all-in isn’t a terrible play?

Intuitively I don’t believe this is true, but mathematically I can’t figure out why.

Severely simplifying but take this hypothetical:
Pot is 2, I all-in for 100. Half the time I have the nuts and win, the other half I have air. Pot odds are basically 50/50 for you, so if you’re unable to call every exact time I’m bluffing, you’re losing EV no?


Does the importance of pot odds decrease dramatically as you progress through streets? How should I be calculating how often to bluff the river with an all-in?

Not actually a dumb question really.

In a perfectly polarized situation where Hero has nuts/air and villain has bluff catchers the bluffing frequency you should utilize will be equal to the pot odds given to villain for the bet size Hero chooses (and the bet size should be all-in). For a pot size bet, this would be bet/(bet+pot+bet) = 1/3 or 33%. For a very large bet where the bet size is >> pot then it does end up asymptotically approaching 50% as the bet size approaches infinity-->(bet/(bet+pot+bet)) where pot is <<< bet.

In non polarized situations things get more complicated, but generally speaking the bluffing frequency you end up going with will be roughly equal to the pot odds given to villain for the utilized betting size.

hi poker people..........this is never ending discussion.....does poker is game of luck or game of skill....what are valid points to say it game of skill or sport....or chess.....we always discuss with friends....they say its game of luck...you go dent...at certain time....

100 hand = is all luck

10,000 hand = mostly luck, some skill

100,000 hands = mostly skill, some luck

1,000,000 hands = almost no luck

Your question effectively boils down to a statistics question revolving around the following parameters:

1. standard deviation

2. win rate

3. sample size

Equity.

What is the standard ruling in a tournament if there is a three way all in and the player who covers wins regarding where the two losing players place? As in both losing players go out in the same hand but for example which one comes 4th and which comes 5th...... or do they get given the same rank and split payout?

Whoever had more chips going into the hand finishes higher

Is it possible to figure out standard deviation in live games? So not having poker tracking software. The only tracking I have shows what my results are per hour.

hi poker heads...noob question...what is call,raise and re raise..............if big blind is 2 $ and utg call he has to call 2 $...if he raise have to put 4$....here minimum raise should be 4 $ right??.....if some one had to reraise he had to put 8$ or more.....i am correct or not......??

The minimum raise is the amount of the previous bet/raise. So if it's 1/2 and someone raises the BB to $4, the next raise has to be to $6 or more

ok if its 1/2 and someone can raise the BB to 3$ or more...or it should be 4 $......and next rasie is 6 $.....so reraise will be 10$....i am correct or not???

definitely possible, you need to start by defining what you're calculating over. stdevbb/hr is def possible to calculate but your sample for it won't be huge if you're not consistently tracking and how useful information it is to you might be a different question.

Here is BruceZ’s post on how to do it. It might be a little intimidating if you’re not used to the notation, but if you look at it long enough, you can eventually figure out how to make an Excel sheet.

Does the gap concept still exist in GTO ranges? Mainly as it's claimed that in the gap concept the calling range would be capped. Thank you.

Here's pic from monkeysolver. Why does it tell to call or do all-ins with hands that have negative ev?

I'd assume it's calculating EV on the hand whereas 'don't do -EV stuff' is based on the particular node in the game tree.

Gap concept is a way of expressing preflop strategy heuristics, it's not 'part of' GTO strategy in the sense I think you mean but will often be reflected by GTO outputs.

How do you play pot limit omaha? It seems reeeeeallllly hard.

You can start HERE. plenty of threads specific to PLO

looks pretty interesting, thanks.

Why do different lower pocket pairs have different equities against AA? for an exaple, 55 has 80.9%, but 22 has 82.2%.

55 is better because it can make more straights

55 has lower equity than 22 tough?

No it doesn't
