Just started the course and love it. I really hope John Hopkins continues to let you teach this because this actually has greater value than a lot of more formal accepted classes. You ate teaching students math, intuition, statistics and reality don't always matchup, probabilities etc.

It's not that crazy. There have been people who don't cover their hands. It's the players responsibility to cover his/her hand.

At 46:49, he says 'even though you need a 9 for the flush, you can't count the King twice' to end up with 10 instead of 11. What does he mean by this? Doesn't make sense to me.

I know I'm late, but he's saying the flush draw has normally 9 outs (rest of diamonds) and the straight draw normally has 4 outs (all kings), but both of these include the king of diamonds. If you don't subtract 1, you'd end up counting the king of diamonds twice in the odds. So it's 9 + 4 - 1 (remove second king of diamonds) - 2 (remove the two outs that result in opponent winning) = 10.

Shouldnt the pot odds of been 4 to 1 because there’s 200 in the pot. Your op puts in 100 which is 300. You put in 100 so that’s 400. You’re risking 100 to win the pot of 400 so isn’t that 4-1 or no?

The first equation he did..... he didn't add on the money he would win if he called.... I thought you were supposed to do that..... He said you're expected to win 70$... you have 20% win the best is 20$.... $20 is more than 20% of $70.... shouldn't it be $90? I thought the pot odds were the total amount in the pot after the best AND CALL......... I've seen other lectures and many vieos and I've never heard anyone teach that the pot odds are the pot after the BET only......

This had confused me also. But based on the Nicky Numbers pot odds video, the calculation seems to be (pot + opponent's call)/call amount. So in the first example it would be $50 in the pot + $20 opponent's call which is $70/$20.

I'm getting confused. In the beginning, you've calculated some scenarios and whenever the "pot odds" were better, you call. At the flush draw example, around 52:30, you calculated what you should bet to create an edge against your opponent. Let's assume that 9 outs at the turn lead to 4to1 odds against. As in the example, if we'll bet 33$ or more we'll create the wanted edge. But if the pot is 100$, and we bet 100$, the pot odds for the opponent will be 200/100 ---> 2to1, which are greater than 4to1. This means the "pot odds" will be better than the "odds against" for the opponent, so couldn't figure out how is it good for us. Thanks

I’m a little confused. In the intro example (at around 15:19) you calculate the odds for hitting a flush as 20% or 5 to 1, based on the fact that there are 9 cards out of the 46 available that will make the flush (46/9 = 5.1, or around 5 to 1) But then when you give the exercise 3 (around 48:51) you do the same calculation for the opponent to hit the flush, but this time you put it at 4 to 1 (still 9 outs available out of 46, but this time the 9 cards are subtracted from the 46 and the calculation becomes 37/9 = 4.1, so the odds become 4 to 1, not 5 to 1) Have I missed something here? I probably have, but I can’t see what.

"Odds" aren't the same as "percent chance to win" (i.e., your "20% or 5 to 1" is incorrect). Betting odds are "percentage chance to lose" / "percentage chance to win". 80% / 20% = 4 to 1 odds. If I said, we have "even odds", you would intuit based on your past experience that the odds are 1-1 and the percentage chance is 50%. But if you applied the math of your first paragraph, you would come up with 2-1 odds. Alternative way of thinking of it... if there are five Willy Wonka bars, one of which is guaranteed to have a golden ticket, and I choose one of them, there are 4 chances that I was wrong and 1 that I was right. 4 to 1 odds.

yeah man this guy is all messed up... I'm pretty sure everything he's teaching here is bad info. the more I'm watching and doing the math myself the more I'm realizing this guy is just wrong about tons of stuff he's saying. I mean if you're 5-1 to win.... then you can't be 3.6 -1 to lose that's ridiculous....... I'm.... missing something...... if you're 5-1 to win that means ur 80% to lose...... My fuckin brain is fried....... I'm lost and I can't figure out why. Something is amiss and it's making me crazy. EDIT; YESSS!!! your chances against are not 36-10 it's 46-36!!! This guy is wrong in how he's doing the math. ur not 36-10 or 3.6-1 against... you're 23-18 against. I'm still kinda lost but I know my math is correct. The odds of winning are 100% 21.74% I know this for a 100% fact..... and the rest of it does not jive so he must be wrong.... or I'm not understanding the way he's thinking about it.... because 5-1 is NOT BETTER THAN 3.6-1 ANYWAY!!!!

@@upplsuckimcool16 So, if the odds are 1-1 ("even odds"), does that mean your chance of winning is 100%. Look at your math. You are saying "5 to 1" => "1 / 5" => "0.2" => 20%. By that logic, "1 to 1" => "1 / 1" => "1.0" => 100%. Yet, I'm sure you know that even odds mean you only have a 50% chance of winning, because the other guy has a 50% chance of winning. You are confusing the phrasing of X *to* Y "odds" with "a Y in X chance". Your percentage chance of choosing the right bar is "1 in 5" or "20%", but expressed as betting "odds", it is "4 to 1" against you succeeding. Work you way up to it. "1 to 1" must be 50%, I'm sure you see that, right? So, "2 to 1" (against) is less than that, right? It's 33%. "3 to 1" is less than that; it's 25%. "4 to 1" is less than that; it's 20%. "5 to 1" is less than that; it's 16.6%.

@@patrickrusk8587 ok but he said that 50 into 250 is 5-1..... Isnt 50 20% of 250? 1:1 is 100% 2/1 is 50%... When you make a 1:1 bet you win 100% of your bet.... Im 100% sure that the odds of hitting a flush with one card to come on the river is around 20% and the odds against is 80% and 3.6/1 isnt 80%. In my head its like ur changing the definition of math terminology. And how is 5/1 better than 3.6/1 even the way youre explaining it? I dont know the fractions way to do determine it... But there has to be something hes saying that isnt right. I mean.... Maybe when it comes to chances of winning vs pot odds you have to think of it different.. because sure a1:1 bet you win 100% of your bet ... Which means you have a 50% chance to win. Do you have to just know this and apply the difference of terminology based on whether ur talking about odds or pot size? It just seems a lot more complicated than it has to. I mean ok example: you have one card left to make a flush... Thats 21.74% if its the river.... The bet is 50 the pot is 200 the bet plus the pot makes 250 your call is 50 and 50 into 250 is 20%.... Less than 21.74% so the answer is CALL HOWEVER the way he explains it is that the decision to call is not that close... Its an OBVIOUS call 5/1 and 3.6/1...... Thats nowhere near as close as 20% and 21.74% And im 100% sure the answer is 20% and 21.74% which is where im getting completely lost. He has the edge being much better than 1.74% in the same scenario.

Around 42:52, the example that the student is working... he says that the "odds against" calculation is 38 to 6 or 6.333. Shouldn't it be: 52 cards - 8 known (2 in hand + 4 on board + 2 opponent hand) = 44 6 cards that gives us a winning hand 44 to 6 = 7.3333?

I'm sure you've already figured this out since it's a year later but... It's unknown cards - number of outs. So, in this case, 44 - 6 = 38.
