In probability theory, the expected value of a random variable is intuitively the long-run average value of repetitions of the experiment it represents. In poker the fixed component is your hand and the size of the pot, the variable is your opponents RANGE. A fixed hand at showdown is not your opponent's range, it is just one hand of many that your opponent may have - which is why a tracker cannot calculate true EV. Instead we calculate things like All-In Equity Adjusted Winnings, which is your hand equity multiplied by the size of the pot. Many players mistakenly think this is EV, but in reality it is night and day different measurements of expectation.

All of this. 1 million times. Ty ty ty.
I have been banging on ITT so many times the need to calculate a $ev decision accurately yourself. It is far more informative. Personally, I input players' ranges (from PT4) into PPT's SQL simulation, then combine this with an online ICM tool and input all this into my Excel spreadsheet to work out the
$EXPECTED VALUE of my decision.
People are lazy though and expect the software to do it for them which it cannot. Period.
So basically the demand is for you to fix something you haven't delivered yet! Lol.
Do you have any specific links to Neural Net and poker?
On a side note I would love to work for PT
. Do you have any UK operations?
