@ Mt.FishNoob

Listen

I am not out to get ya or anything else. I dont know you and to be honest I dont care. As far as I know you are just another poster and most likely a cool guy. I usually dont post here and I was just bored the other day when I chimed in a few threads.


However, I do feel compelled to educate you a bit.

So you misread the hand and thought villain had hero covered. Thats fine, you are certainly not the first one to do that on 2p2.

But even if we assume you did not misread the hand you are still of.

If we assume villain had hero covered and hero should call a $100 bet to win a $184.5, then hero would indeed get about "10:28". Precisely he would get 284.5:100 = 2.845:1 which is the standard way of quoting the odds. But getting 2.845:1 doesnt equate to hero needing to be good 1/2.845 = 35% to make a call +EV. When getting 2.845:1 hero needs to be good 1/3.845 = 26% of the time to make the call +EV.

Whenever you get x:1 on a call you need to win the pot 1/(1+x) to win the pot. I am sorry but that fact is not up for debate.

And as I tried to say in an earlier post the fact that you quote the 35% number should trigger a bell. Any trained PLO player should know that the worst odds he can face on a river bet or raise is 2:1 - a pot raise or bet. When facing a pot raise or bet hero needs to be good at least 33.3% to call.

In any PL game you can never need to be good more than 33.3% to call a river bet or raise. I am sorry but that is also a fact that is not up for debate.


Now as I started out saying I am not out to get you. You can just ignore this post and not worry about this random git. It would be smarter tho if you read it and made sure you understand. Not only for yourself but also for all the readers of this forum. You have something like 4k or 5k posts, you post a lot of strat here. In other words your strat posts has a certain element of authority. New posters and readers will read your post and think: "Hey this guy posts a lot so he must know what he is talking about. But when it comes to this basic math it seems quite evident to me that you do not know what you are talking about. So that is not only a problem for yourself but also for random readers.

I recomend that you either get the math straight, stop posting when it comes to math questions, or post with a disclaimer in the top stating that your grasp on the math is iffy.

yep and thats as far as it goes.

established... the 35% was a random mistake cuz i was stoned and half asleep and fked the arrhythmic, I ameneded when I said about it being miles away from 35% and lower than 20 odd or whatever it was.
U really have gone to too much effort to describe how a ratio works... surely you should have realised I am not that bad to think 2:4=50%. Triple B set my mind straight.

E:didnt read the last part of your post, I doubt new posters and others are dumb enough to not realise its an obvious mistake to calculate 10:28 as 10/28... srsly wtf? 2+2 is ridiculous, you have a strong complex
