This poker workbook has one goal: to help you actually improve between sessions. By learning powerful concepts and drilling through exercises, your ability to calculate accurately and quickly at the tables improves. Your time at the tables shouldn't be spent trying to calculate pot odds of a call or the breakeven-% of your bluffs. Calculations like these should be automatic, giving you extra time and brainpower to find ways to optimize your edge during a hand.
Now you can practice the math that underlies all aspects of your poker strategy. Drill through the technical side of your preflop playbook. And start putting a bigger gap between your winrate and the regs in your game. This workbook teaches you the formulas and lays out practice exercises for concepts like:
- Equity
- Range Building/Hand Reading
- Combos & Blockers
- Pot Odds
- Implied Odds
- Breakeven % & Auto-Profit
- Expected Value (EV)
- Open-Raising
- 3Betting & 4Betting
- Preflop All-Ins
By learning these concepts and practicing them at your own pace, you'll find poker math getting far easier. This workbook does require the use of extra software, and Equilab is free for Windows users. Premium software like Flopzilla Pro (Windows) or PokerCruncher (Mac) are excellent too. And many spreadsheets are available for various chapters.
You don't need an IQ of 175 to master poker math - you just need some guidance, some shortcuts, and some in-depth training. Complete just a few pages per day, and you'll see serious improvement in the next month.
And the best news is that these concepts come into play in every single session, at every single level, and wherever you happen to play poker. So the examples in this book range from live cash games to online tournaments - without bogging you down with confusing variables that will never apply to the poker games you play.
The Answer Key
Based upon feedback from previous workbooks, there is an included answer key so you can double-check your answers at any point. There is a link on Page #246 so you can download the answer key OR use the online version that will get lifetime updates.
This key also includes all of the range strands, making it easy to copy ranges from the workbook and paste them directly into your poker software.
