Introduction
Do you want to improve your poker? Improvement comes through ongoing practice of a specific technique. Tennis players practice their serve, musicians practice their scales, and now it’s your turn to practice your poker skills in the same way.
The aim of this free eBook from pokeretude.com is to help you improve your ability to recognise your expected value at speed, which is the key to your long-term profitability. You will do this through exercises, which have been broken down in to each stage of an expected value assessment process.
Recognizing your expected value at speed will help you to make good decisions as to whether you should bet based on fact – not feeling, intuition, or emotion. We don’t want to ignore feeling, intuition and emotion, but recognizing expected value will make sure they don’t get the better of us at the table.
The same exercises are available at pokeretude.com and have been designed to be repeated and practiced to improve your speed and accuracy of equating expected value at the table, leading you to greater profitability in the long term.
These exercises give you a chance to hone one of the key skills of poker away from the emotion of the tables – so you can focus on building your technique and skill in a safe, no-lose setting.
In this book we will be focusing expected value on post-flop, single out cards – that is the expected value that is possible with only one additional card, from the position of the flop having gone down. This is a good place to start to be able to grasp the concepts of expected value, and if you want to continue on, more exercises and tutorials are available at pokeretude.com.
This book is all about learning to make long-term profitable moves. Playing the long term odds mean you will win more, and ultimately come out on top!
Who is this book for?
This book is intended to be for people who understand the basics of Texas Hold Em’ Poker, and want to start understanding some of the intermediate to advanced topics.
If you are not completely confident on the basics, articles and tutorials are available for free at pokeretude.com.
What is Expected Value?
Expected value is a way of calculating on average, the amount you are likely to win in the long term from your current hand position.
Think of it like this, if you had to play the same hand over and over, and you knew you were 80% likely to win, you would keep playing. However if you knew you only had a 5% chance of winning, well, you wouldn’t keep putting your chips on the table!
