The subject says it all...well mostly. I am not a math genius by any stretch of the imagination, though I do have a grasp on algebra, and even survived first quarter calculus with a B+.
What I would really like though is pointers on how to get better at calculating odds in my head. I have seen a few formulas around that if I had time to pop them into a calculator i could use pretty well. The only "formula" I found that I can do in my head though is 1-10 outs multiplied by 4 to come close(within about 1%) to my odds of hitting an out on the turn. Unfortunately I am not sure if using this is helping my ability to calulate odds on the fly or hurting it.
Stakes Currently Played: $0.01/$0.02 NL, $1.50+$o.25 Turbo SnG, and $2-$3 MTTs
Short Term Goal: Build my BR to $200 and move to $0.05/$0.10 stakes
Long term Goal:WSoP
My mantra: Stay tight, be patient, make a good hand and drop the hammer.
