Message: [QUOTE="dmorris68, post: 1559800, member: 40397"] Going through some DTB videos today and QTip has a pretty nice series on poker math for people who aren't math-inclined. Going back to my post above about old timers who don't consciously use math at the table but are actually doing so on a subconscious level, this is what QTip says at the very beginning of video #1:[INDENT][I] Some would say the math isn't important in poker. They like to call themselves "Feel Players." They just feel out the situation and make the decision they think is best. However, don't be fooled. The good players saying this are "feeling" the math in the game. The bad players saying this are just, well, bad players. There isn't a good poker player who doesn't understand the numbers we're going to go over in this series. [/I][/INDENT]So he's basically echoing (or me echoing him, actually) what I posted above about "instinctual" math. I'm fairly well read by now on the concepts behind most poker math but I'm going to go through this series anyway, because the math doesn't always come easy to me. It's a 10 episode series that claims to cover some advanced concepts in an easy to understand manner, so I'm sure I'll pick up some tricks or concepts that just aren't second nature to me yet. Here's the lesson index: Lesson 1 - Getting Your Feet Wet Lesson 2 - Betting on the Bedrock Lesson 3 - Hit the Deck! Lesson 4 - Pursuing the Percentage Lesson 5 - Pot Odds Lesson 6 - Implied Odds Lesson 7 - Exploring the Unknown Lesson 8 - Equity vs Range Lesson 9 - Bluffing Lesson 10 - Semi-Bluffing If you don't have a DTB membership yet and would like to check this out, they offer a 7-day free trial. They also offer a number of rakeback offers on most major sites, with the added bonus of earning free DTB months that does NOT affect your MGR (i.e. is not deducted from your RB). Very similar to TFPT with Cardrunners on FullTilt. (I know this sounds like I'm shilling for DTB but not so. I'm a new member there myself (well, newly paying member anyway, I've actually been signed up since January) and I'm really liking what I've seen so far) [/QUOTE]
