just got through the first chunk. i'll probably re-read it and try a few examples of my own to let it sink in before i move on. being one of the BC'ers who has asked you for help with poker-related EV equations in the past, seeing it all in the one spot and especially with a refresher course on the required background concepts makes a hell of a difference. thanks alot for this spoon.
out of interest, through doing this sort of stuff extensively in your poker analysis, and probably in your schoolwork as well, i'm sure the EV equation is heavily incorporated into your thought process during the play of a hand.... is this through intuition (ie you develop a feel for +EV plays based on the differing information presented to you in the hand - potsize, betsize, effective stacks, opponents "F:C Ratio", equity versus calling range etc), or through precise mental calculation?
cliche question i'm sure, but i'm fascinated to know, because i'm not mathematically inclined, and i'm wary of attempting to adopt TOO mathematical a mindset during play because i feel it could potentially just cloud my thinking as i inevitably fumble mentally with all the numbers and equations etc etc in my race against the timebank.
thanks again.
