Practical Poker Math: Basic Odds and Probabilities for Hold'em and Omaha

By Pat Dittmar

Book Overview

What are the odds of winning at poker if you don't know the odds in poker?

Practical Poker Math provides a complete and easy-to-understand explanation of the basic odds, probabilities and expectations in Hold'Em and Omaha. All the formulations are completely open and are demonstrated via easy-to-follow, colour-coded calculations.

Pat Dittmar has aimed this book at beginning through semi-pro players who want to improve their results and who know that there is not much chance of improvement without a fundamental understanding of poker odds, probabilities, and expectations.

Pat Dittmar is head of trading and development at TradePointTechnologies.com, an organization that develops and deploys state-of-the-art proprietary trading technologies. Pat feels that successful poker players possess the skills required to play in the one true fast action, around the world, around the clock "Big Game" -- the world financials markets, and TradePointTechnologies recruits its traders exclusively from the poker world.
