Poker Video: MTT/SNG by vandweller (Mid Stakes)

Thank you very much!

It worked fine now

never mind

Fantastic video! Thanks!

That said, I have a question. I likely missed something, so hopefully someone can straighten me out here.

Regarding Equity, at 1:16.35, with 82o.

We have 2210. BB has 5160. Button has 3380. CO has 3350.

For the equity, you said that if we doubled up we would be in second place. However, if we double up, that means we will be taking 2210 from the first place player in the BB knocking him down to 2950 and putting us at 4420 which would be first place.

Did I do that correctly? Are we not supposed to account for the loss of the opponents chips when we win? Could you clarify this for me - and let me know if I am missing something or miscalculating something?

Thanks!

Yeah don't take that too literally. The idea behind that is just to determine how close or far away in chips you are from the other players.

Gotcha. Thanks. I was not sure, since, of course, going from 4th to 1st with a double up would mean one less point for our equity score.

Again, great series. I am enjoying you Real Life SNG series as well - that first episode in particular helped a lot more than just my poker game. Thank you for that.

Being close to second seems to indicate a score of 5, and it seems that having a substantial lead on 4th place would further increase our equity in this tournament. I scored this a 4 based on this reasoning. Am I misapplying the logic, or is this just a product of subjective analysis?

Any chance for a working link to chart?

It seems like these calculations sometimes make sense for the "Hero" and then other times make sense for the BB stack. I'm wondering if I mis-interpreted the method for getting the scores off the chart.

I tried to get the chart with the link:

but got the error messge that it cound not find:

I encounted the same problem when trying to get:
Helper Calc: http://www.pokervan.net/uploads/1/1/0/1/1101451/sngcalc.xls

Please help me to get these 2 files.

Did you get the chart and helper excelvba?

Can anyone PM me the chart and/or helper as I think that these would be helpful to my game and I can't get any of the links to work.

At 01:13:41 if you doubled up there you would be in 2nd not 3rd. It's (120 plus 1900)times 2.

Again if you double up here you would be in 2nd. (200 + 1380) equal 1580. Times 2 is 3160. Your effective stack is 1580 not 1380

I don't think you ever took into account the blinds you put up for your effective stack when determining your equity number
