No-Limit Hold ’em For Advanced Players by Matthew Janda Reviews and discussion - Page 29 - Poker News

Hi Matthew,

I used to be a cardrunners member when you made videos there.

(By the way I have already purchased this book but gave it to the charity shop/goodwill. I will be repurchasing if applicable.)

I remember in a/some vids you did some 6max theory eg (paraphrased, and if I remember kind of accurately) the BB wants to defend x% however built into x is the SB, BTN...'s ability to defend means x is lower than the theoretical number.

Coincidentally I am @ the stage of my poker learning so want to really interrogate this theory now:

i) is the maths in this book?
ii) if no, where can i find it?

Maybe pointed out already but I think there might be an error on p. 343.

Near the bottom on the page, the formula

0=1/(1+x)^2-2y

is treated as equal to

y=(1/2)(1+x)^2

I think latter should be

y=(1/2)(1/(1+x)^2)

In Bet-Sizing Adjustments as the 3-Bettor,at the end of the first paragraph after 2, Weak hands are more profitable in strong ranges than weak ranges, you wrote "But with shallow stack depth this is less effective since our opponent can comfortably 4-bet fold all-in."
Do you mean 4-bet all-in instead of 4-bet fold all-in?
