and also, at what other statistics should I be looking at? ITM? what else?

I suspect I know the answer, but I'm a UK player who will be in France next week, will I be able to log in and play on pokerstars UK?

who wins this hand

Vilian - A8
ME - A2

Board - A J Q 4 T 3

split pot. 6card board is unique tho If 3 instead of the T then villain wins

Should I be table selecting at NL2 on stars? I decided to start from the bottom again, since I haven't played for years, so I made 50$ deposit. And should I start SH or FR? I have mostly experience in mttsngs (18s, 45s, 90s) in the past, so not that good at cash games.
EDIT: I also bought PT4 for this, so by playing 4 tables I can easy spot player types.

You have too many cards on the flop.

What is villain's best five card hand? What is your best five card hand?

Write them out, or set the cards explicitly if you have to until you can do it automatically.

more the better!
but to work out your ev in spins you need to use chip ev rather than $ev. $ev basically just shows how well you ran relative to the multiplier.

the only way to really work out your actual ev is in chip profit per game.

you'll need to know the get the "Chips (EV adjusted)" stat up in HM2/equivalent PT stat in the "winnings summary" report.

so to work out your ev ROI at $15+ spins where rake is 5%:
5% of 500 (starting stack) = 25 chips. rake is 25 chips per game

you then divide your "Chips (EV adjusted)" by the amount of games you've played.

Say your total chip ev is 100000 and you've played 2000 games you divide 1000000/2000 = 50. so you're making 50 chips game. 50-25 (rake) = 25.

so now you know you have a profit of 25 chips per game.

you then work out what your cEV profit is per game as a percentage of the starting stack:

25 is 5% of 500 chips so with this example your evROI=5%.

PokerStove Query:
I'm not sure how do select the exact suits you want for preflop off-suit hands.
E.g you go to "Preflop" within Pokerstove and select "AJo". You can then de-select different suited hands but Pokerstove doesn't make it clear which way round it is. E.g. are you de-selecting AhJc or AcJc.
Is the first card the first suit on the bottom left or top right?

Can someone please either tell me or point me in the direction of how to calculate preflop equity?

EX: According to Cardplayer Odds Calculator:

AKs 60.14% v 67s(different suit) 39.42% with .44% tie.

I'd really like to understand how this math is done.

Thanks!

The way these calculators do it is by running a simulation of every possible board and displaying the win and chop percentages for each hand.

The way humans do it is by remembering the results of calcs they've run in the past or using a chart like this:


as a rule of thumb for determining equity at the table.

When people go all in why is it sometimes they only throw 1 chip in?

two questions:

is it normal to be up and down $10-15 throughout the day?

is it normal to not show a profit say 3 days out of the week?

I believe it's to speed the game up as the person performing the action is using verbal action, and trying to save time from having to put together their stack again after the move in case of fold. It could also mean even if there is a call, they are expecting to win the pot and don't want to have to restack their chips/or a bluff with the intention of showing strength due to the above statement.

And I'm not sure if it's standard, but thank you Duncelanas, I have saved that and will study it.

Yes, probably, depending on what stakes you're playing.

Yes, you will also have weeks in which you lose every day, even as a winning player.

They watch too much television.

Hey guys, I am looking for software that has a 9 handed table and you can put in mock situations into the table. Does anyone know of anything like this?

Is there such a thing as a double range merge, or is it an inside joke as the triple merge?

Blockers and domination.

When you 3bet A2s in position you do for a lot of reasons, but I red one of these reasons is that you have an Ace wich is a blocker for oppo's strong combos.

But I think when oppo just flats our 3bet he can have better aces like ATs, AJ, AQ, maybe even AK, and we are dominated.

Ok the real question is: it is always profitable to 3bet small suited aces in position, or, because of domination, could be more profitable to 3bet-bluff a more different kind of hand? (like suited connectors)

I am confusing ABC play with more "regular" kind of play wich need better hand reading and post-flop skills? (like: we go to the flop with Ax dominated but we can pot control? Or fold? Or bluff??)

It depends, but let's just say that we expect to be very +EV when flopping an ace even if we're dominated by all villain's Ax.

What is Staking, and how does it work?

I use an app called Poker Income Bankroll Tracker Ultimate. The name is tacky as **** but its not bad imo

Either you sell a % of your action (i.e. you still have some risk), or you enter a long-term deal in which someone buys all of your action for a lesser % of your profits but with 'makeup' (i.e. if you lose at first you have to get back to winning overall before you can earn any money).

What do you mean by when you say action? Do you mean potential winnings?
