Download or read book Draw Poker Odds written by Catalin Barboianu and published by INFAROM Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like any variation of poker, draw poker (or classical poker) is also predisposed to probability-based decisions. The author presents the mathematics involved in this card game, with respect to the usage of the numerical results in players' strategies. The whole presentation is focused on the practical aspect of the application of probability theory in draw poker and all the sections are such structured to allow the direct usage of the numerical results. This is why every section is packed with tables, some of them filling dozens of pages. This is not a math book, even if the supporting mathematics is present thorough, but a guide addressed to poker players, who can skip the math parts at any time and pick the needed results from tables. For those interested, the complete methodology, the way probability theory is applied and a part of the calculations are shown, so it teaches the player how to calculate odds for any situation for every stage of the game, even the numerical results are already listed in the book. Want to evaluate the probability of one opponent bluffing? Want to know the probability of at least one opponent holding a card formation higher than yours, at any moment of the game? Want to know the probability of hitting the desired formation if discarding in a certain way? All this information is in the book and is fully mathematically grounded. All probability results from this guide are obtained through compact mathematical formulas and not partial simulations on computer. These formulas are the outcome of one year of study, math work and tests. The author found the right probability model in which to apply the theory and conveniently quantify the card distributions inorder to work out the draw poker probability formulas. They were built with an enough large range of variables to cover all possible situations and were never worked out before. Their numerical returns were gathered in three main categories of odds presented in the book: - Initial probabilities of the first card distribution for your own hand; - Prediction probabilities after first card distribution and before the second for your own hand; - Prediction probabilities for opponents' hands. Every section ends with suggestive examples and there is also a special chapter with a lot of relevant gaming situations presented along with the odds of their associated events. Among author's previously published books on mathematics of gambling, Draw Poker Odds seems to be the most practical one and that is because the author presents the results of applied probability in a gambling-behavioral manner that can influence the balance between the subjective strategies and the real odds in player's favor.

This book introduces and develops some of the important and beautiful elementary mathematics needed for rational analysis of various gambling and game activities. Most of the standard casino games (roulette, blackjack, keno), some social games (backgammon, poker, bridge) and various other activities (state lotteries, horse racing, etc.) are treated in ways that bring out their mathematical aspects. The mathematics developed ranges from the predictable concepts of probability, expectation, and binomial coefficients to some less well-known ideas of elementary game theory. The second edition includes new material on: sports betting and the mathematics behind it; Game theory applied to bluffing in poker and related to the Texas Holdem phenomenon; The Nash equilibrium concept and its emergence in the popular culture; Internet links to games and to Java applets for practice and classroom use. The only formal mathematics background the reader needs is some facility with high school algebra. Game-related exercises are included at the end of most chapters for readers interested in working with and expanding ideas treated in the text. Solutions to some of the exercises appear at the end of the book.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is on applications of game theory. The title of this book is not "Game Theory and its Applications" because it does not construct a general theory for considered games. The book contains a lot of examples of applica tion of game theory together with the background of those games considered and a list of unsolved problems. Also we consider only the game where the optimal strategies of the players are found in closed form. This book is an attempt to carryon the approach developed in nice books "Search Games" by Gal and "Geometric Games and their Applications" by Ruckle. The first chapter of this book supplies the required definitions and theorems from game theory. The second chapter deals with discrete search games where both players act simultaneously: the games of protection of a channel from infiltration of a submarine, the submarine versus helicopter game, the matrix search games and others. The third chapter considers the game where the players allocate their contin uous efforts. In these games players face up an alternative either not to come into contest if the cost of efforts seems too high, or come into it. In the last case the player have to decide how much resources they can afford to spend. The allocation models of search, antiballistic protection and marketing are investigated.
Download or read book POKER MATH written by Alex Trott and published by . This book was released on 2023-08-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poker is a card game that requires skill and strategy, and people have been playing it for hundreds of years. The application of mathematics is one of the most important aspects of winning at poker. It can make a major difference in a player's success at poker to have a firm grasp on the mathematical fundamentals of the game and the ability to put those fundamentals into practice in the midst of competition. In this section, we will discuss the significance of poker math in the game of poker and explore the various ways in which a strong understanding of the mathematical principles that underlie poker math can lead to improved decision-making and, ultimately, a greater number of wins. The term "poker math" refers to the application of several mathematical ideas and the theory of probability in order to make educated decisions while playing the game. Understanding the probabilities of winning a hand, calculating the odds of winning the pot, and calculating the expected value of a given move are the fundamentals of poker math. Players who are serious about taking their poker skills to the next level absolutely need to understand these ideas. Mastering the mathematical aspects of poker also enables players to boost their earnings, which is another significant advantage. Players are able to make more educated choices regarding when to bet, fold, or raise depending on the information they get from their knowledge of the probabilities of winning a hand. Players can boost their odds of winning more hands and, eventually, more money if they make these decisions with a thorough understanding of the underlying mathematical principles. A player who is proficient in poker math can also reduce the amount of money they lose to the game. Players are able to assess whether or not it is worthwhile to put additional money into a hand by estimating the odds of the pot. Players have the option to fold and reduce their losses if the odds of winning the pot are unfavorable to them. Poker players can avoid making costly mistakes that can have negative effects on their bankroll if they base their judgments on their knowledge of poker math and make those decisions consistently.
